#Nanoribbon film keeps glass ice-free Rice university scientists who created a deicing film for radar domes have refined now the technology to work as a transparent coating for glass.
This scanning electron microscope image shows the network of conductive nanoribbons in Rice university's high-density graphene nanoribbon film.
A o. Raji/Rice university Last year the Rice group created films of overlapping nanoribbons and polyurethane paint to melt ice on sensitive military radar domes,
"That caused degradation of the film. Those spots got so hot that they burned up."
"The answer was to make the films more consistent. The new films are between 50 and 200 nanometers thick--a human hair is about 50,000 nanometers thick
--and retain their ability to heat when a voltage is applied. The researchers were also able to preserve their transparency.
The films are still useful for deicing applications but can be used to coat glass and plastic as well as radar domes and antennas.
This scanning electron microscope image shows a closeup of the nanoribbon network in Rice university's high-density graphene nanoribbon film.
"One can now think of using these films in automobile glass as an invisible deicer, and even in skyscrapers,"Tour said."
"He said nanoribbon films also open a path toward embedding electronic circuits in glass that are both optically and RF transparent.
The quantum dot filters are printed into a thin film and placed on top of a photodetector such as the charge-coupled devices (CCDS) found in cellphone cameras.
Nanofibril films may be used in photovoltaic cells and also in displays because they have better light-transmission properties than glass,
The condensers gain efficiency because the the graphene resists the formation of films on the condensers.
When a thin film is formed the heat transfer of the condensation is compromised. The MIT researchers exploited the graphene coating hydrophobic qualities to ensure that the water formed into droplets.
Even worse, the polymer coatings are sometimes so thick that they actually pose a bigger problem to the heat transfer than the films they are supposed to be combating.

This electron microscope image shows tiny nanoparticles of bismuth ferrite embedded in a polymer film. The film enhances the unique electric and magnetic properties of bismuth ferrite and preserves these properties even when bent.
The researchers describe the film in a paper published in Applied Physics Letters AIP Publishing.
Flexible electronics have been hard to manufacture because many materials with useful electronic properties tend to be rigid.
The solution was dried in a series of steps at increasing temperatures to produce a thin flexible film.
When the researchers tested the electric and magnetic properties of the film they found that their new material not only preserved
Furthermore the improved properties remained even as the film was curved into a cylindrical shape. Bulk bismuth ferrite has crucial problems for some applications such as a high leakage current
and also gave the film flexible stretchable properties. Multi-ferroric materials such as this could be used in high-density energy efficient memory and switches in wearable devices.
and it is notoriously difficult and expensive to fabricate thin films of 2-D materials at such a scale
Before making a thin film of it, the scientists first had to achieve an even dispersion of the material.
The researchers then used an out-of-the-box innovation to produce high-quality thin films:
and the thin film was transferred to a flexible plastic support, which is much less expensive than a traditional solar panel.
The thin film produced like this was tested and found to be superior in efficiency to films made with the same material
but using other comparable methods. At this proof-of-concept stage the direct solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency was around 1%lready a vast improvement over thin films prepared by other methods,
and with considerable potential for higher efficiencies in the future. More importantly, this liquid-liquid method can be scaled up on a commercial level. t is suitable for rapid and large-area roll-to-roll processing,

which is direct evidence of the emergence of superconductivity in the films. The researchers found that the Tc estimated from the gap-closing in a monolayer film is surprisingly high (above 60 K),
While multilayer films do not show superconductivity in the as-grown state the researchers have discovered a novel method to deposit alkali atoms onto the films
and thereby control the electron density in the film. By employing this method, the researchers have succeeded in converting non-superconducting multilayer Fese films into high-Tc superconductors with Tc as high as 50 K. The present result gives a great impact to both the basic
and applied researches in superconductors. The researchers have shown clearly how the superconductivity is emerged, enhanced and controlled in atomically thin Fese films.
While the Tc achieved in this study (50-60 K) is still lower than that of the cuprate high-Tc superconductors (highest Tc?
135 K) which caused the"high-Tc fever"in the world 30 years ago, it obviously exceeds the record of other"high-Tc superconductors"such as fullerene (C60) superconductors (Tc 33 K) and Mgb2 (Tc 39k),
