Abstract

A chemical “lego nanoset” has been used to realize different structures on gold surfaces. Three building blocks have been designed, in order to chemically link the surface and self-assemble in an ordered manner. Self-assembled films are arranged on a gold surface into 3D suprastructures via consecutive deposition of different mono-layers, taken together by thymine-adenine hydrogen bonds. Three films, composed of one, two, and three helical peptide layers, both containing a zinc-tetraphenylporphyrin dye as an external sheet, are built and characterized by spectro-electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. All films are found to generate current under illumination, and their photoresponse and stability are studied as a function of the number of peptide layers. The efficiency of the photoconversion process has been correlated to the molecular organization of the porphyrin dyes in the film and to the templating role of the bridge between the porphyrin and the gold surface.

期刊介绍： Advanced Materials Interfaces publishes top-level research on interface technologies and effects. Considering any interface formed between solids, liquids, and gases, the journal ensures an interdisciplinary blend of physics, chemistry, materials science, and life sciences. Advanced Materials Interfaces was launched in 2014 and received an Impact Factor of 4.834 in 2018. The scope of Advanced Materials Interfaces is dedicated to interfaces and surfaces that play an essential role in virtually all materials and devices. Physics, chemistry, materials science and life sciences blend to encourage new, cross-pollinating ideas, which will drive forward our understanding of the processes at the interface. Advanced Materials Interfaces covers all topics in interface-related research: Oil / water separation, Applications of nanostructured materials, 2D materials and heterostructures, Surfaces and interfaces in organic electronic devices, Catalysis and membranes, Self-assembly and nanopatterned surfaces, Composite and coating materials, Biointerfaces for technical and medical applications. Advanced Materials Interfaces provides a forum for topics on surface and interface science with a wide choice of formats: Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications, as well as Progress Reports and Research News.
