Herein, we present a simple and scalable method to functionalize single-walled CNTs with pyrene moieties through radical grafting, enabled by thermal desulfonation of sulfonated pyrene. To enhance grafting efficiency, CNTs were intentionally shortened, increasing the number of reactive ends. The resulting pyrene-grafted short CNTs (PYgSCNTs) exhibited increased surface area and redox functionality without compromising the intrinsic electrical and mechanical properties of CNTs. Morphological and structural analyses confirmed successful grafting and formation of mesoporous structures. Electrochemical characterization revealed that PYgSCNT films deliver significantly improved capacitance, achieving a specific capacitance of 59.2 F g⁻¹, excellent rate capability, and stable cycling over 2000 cycles. A flexible supercapacitor device fabricated using PYgSCNT films as electrodes demonstrated a high volumetric energy density of 8.9 mW h cm⁻³ and power density of 878 mW cm⁻³, surpassing the performance of conventional CNT-containing devices.

Conventional methods for characterizing these properties rely on direct electrical measurements, which are time-consuming and unsuitable for large-scale semiconductor production. This study presents an AI-based method that rapidly predicts the dielectric properties of HZO thin films from microscopic image data. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model was trained to infer dielectric behavior based on color changes induced by post-metal annealing (PMA) process conditions. These surface color variations are directly linked to internal structural phase transitions, supporting the use of optical features as indicators of dielectric phase states. The model achieved prediction accuracies of 63 % and 50 % when trained on image data from HZO and Mo regions in HZO thin-film capacitors, respectively. Using combined image data from both regions improved accuracy to 88 %, highlighting the significance of capturing both HZO crystal structure changes and Mo electrode oxidation effects. This AI-based inspection technique enables rapid, non-contact classification of dielectric properties at the chip level before the packaging process, offering a practical tool for early detection and process optimization in semiconductor manufacturing. In addition, this AI-based imaging inspection may work as a sensor module for the real-time feedback control system to achieve the targeted dielectric properties. While demonstrated on HZO, the approach can be extended to other thin-film materials where physical or chemical changes affect surface appearance, providing a scalable and cost-effective platform for inline quality control across various device fabrication processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34303,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science Advances","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 100848"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145044764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While peptides and amino acids are known to bind a variety of metal oxides, our understanding remains limited regarding how local surface characteristics influence these interactions at the nanoscale. This is particularly important for “real surfaces” which intrinsically exhibit heterogenous features that determines their behavior when interacting with biomolecules. Herein, we present a fresh perspective that focuses on probing local surface properties and dipeptide (Glu-Ala) binding on oxides grown on polycrystalline aluminum metal at the single-molecule level. First, a comprehensive surface characterization is performed to resolve the chemical composition and topography of two different native aluminum oxide surfaces. Then, by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) in force spectroscopy mode, we employ chemical force microscopy and colloidal probe techniques to quantify local surface charge and hydrophobicity, revealing noticeable differences between the two studied surfaces. Our findings demonstrate that both free enthalpies of adsorption (Δ_ads<em>G</em>°) and kinetic unbinding rates (<em>k</em>_off) are highly influenced by the surface characteristics probed locally, and suggest that the interaction of the dipeptide with the surfaces is dominated by van der Waals and hydrogen bonding. Beyond these fundamental insights regarding peptide–mineral interactions, this work provides methodological developments that are relevant for exploring molecular recognition mechanism, particularly on “real” oxide surfaces. Additionally, the implications of our findings extend to the design of peptide-functionalized materials and offer new perspectives on surface-mediated prebiotic chemistry, potentially relevant to the emergence of life on early Earth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34303,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science Advances","volume":"29 ","pages":"Article 100840"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145044762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, laser beam machining is well-established. However, the influence of scaling of such structures was not sufficiently determined yet. Correlating surface structure to functional properties, especially the adhesion strength, offers opportunities for further optimization in surface design and in processing. Therefore, the fractal dimension was employed to establish a quantitative correlation and to investigate the influence of structure scaling on groove structures in aluminum 6082 specimens for subsequent joining to a polymer counterpart as well as on modeled groove structures. Regardless of the actual groove widths, similar values of the fractal dimension for similar aspect-ratios were calculated – approximately 1.09, 1.13, and 1.16 for the structure densities 10 %, 20 %, and 30 %, respectively. For both cases (virtual, experimental) the fractal dimension acts as a scale-independent measure. Finally, the adhesion strength from 3.5 MPa to 18.5 MPa in lap shear tests occurred – despite partially within the standard deviation – independently of the scaling as well. Furthermore, a direct correlation between fractal dimension and adhesion strength is indicated (<em>R</em>² &gt; 0.94).

In this work, we present the deposition of nanocrystalline NiO_x thin films via SALD using a recent Ni precursor not yet explored for the ALD of NiO, namely, bis(4-(isopropylamino)pent-3en-2-onato)nickel(II) or [Ni(ⁱpki)₂].

A narrow ALD window has been obtained between 230 °C and 250 °C, where a GPC of 0.023 nm is observed. This corresponds to a deposition rate of 1.4 nm/min, which is 2 to 10 times faster than the rates reported for conventional ALD of NiO thin films. Remarkably, the growth onset of NiO_x starts around only 170 °C. The transmittance of the films reaches nearly 97 % in the visible for 55 nm thick films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed a high homogeneity of the films. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies confirm the presence of a cubic NiO_x crystalline phase.
