Electroreductive Coupling Layer-by-Layer Assembly

Electroreductive Coupling Layer-by-Layer Assembly
Lei Wang, Mao Li, Jia Du, Jian Zhang, Qidai Chen, Shusen Kang
Rapid and covalent layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is of significance for practical applications because of superior chemical and mechanical stability. The electrochemical LbL assembly via an accelerating trigger can be automated and programmable in response to electrical signals to in situ fabricate covalently layered thin films with chemical and mechanical stability. In this paper, electroreductive coupling layer-by-layer assembly is introduced as both covalent and rapid methodology for preparing layered thin films. This assembly is triggered by C–C coupling of peripheral alkynyls, which have own absorption below 300 nm and can transform to optical and electrical inert double/single or triple/single alternative bonding formations significantly without optical or electric alternations of desirable photoelectric building blocks, superior to other linkers among covalent LbL assemblies. Not limited to fabrication of optical thin films, this assembly is readily available for oxygen sensitive substrates or materials and also a powerful addition to electrooxidative coupling LbL assembly for developing the economically dynamoelectric LbL machines without moving or changing experimental gears.
