Oxidation Numbers03:14

Oxidation Numbers

42.2K
In redox reactions, the transfer of electrons occurs between reacting species. Electron transfer is described by a hypothetical number called the oxidation number (or oxidation state). It represents the effective charge of an atom or element, which is assigned using a set of rules.

Field Effect Transistor

1.1K
Field-effect transistors (FETs) are integral to electronic circuits and distinguished by their three-terminal setup: the gate, drain, and source. These transistors operate as unipolar devices, which utilize either electrons or holes as charge carriers, in contrast to bipolar transistors, which use both types of carriers. The primary function of the FET is to modulate the flow of these carriers from the source to the drain through a channel. The voltage difference between the gate and source...

Pyruvate Oxidation01:15

Pyruvate Oxidation

168.4K
After glycolysis, the charged pyruvate molecules enter the mitochondria via active transport and undergo three enzymatic reactions. These reactions ensure that pyruvate can enter the next metabolic pathway so that energy stored in the pyruvate molecules can be harnessed by the cells.
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...

Chemical Reactions in Aqueous Solutions

71.3K
Chemical substances interact in many different ways. Certain chemical reactions exhibit common patterns of reactivity. Due to the vast number of chemical reactions, it becomes necessary to classify them based on the observed patterns of interaction.

Electron Transport Chains01:28

Electron Transport Chains

111.7K
The final stage of cellular respiration is oxidative phosphorylation that consists of two steps: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. The electron transport chain is a set of proteins found in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells. Its primary function is to establish a proton gradient that can be used during chemiosmosis to produce ATP and generate electron carriers, such as NAD+ and FAD, that are used in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
The ETC is comprised of...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electronics Engineering
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are crucial for applications like logic circuits, displays, and sensors.
  • Solution processing offers a low-cost, large-scale fabrication route for oxide semiconductor TFTs.
  • A major limitation for solution-processable ZnO TFTs is the high annealing temperature (≥500°C) required for optimal performance.

  • To develop facile, low-cost, solution-processable ZnO TFTs with reduced annealing temperatures.
  • To achieve high carrier mobility and on/off ratios in ZnO TFTs fabricated at ≤300°C.
  • To investigate the role of oxygen vacancies in the performance of solution-processed ZnO TFTs.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of ZnO thin films using a spin-coating method.
  • Annealing of ZnO thin films at temperatures ≤300°C.

  • Achieved high-performance ZnO TFTs with a maximum electron mobility of 11 cm²/V s and an on/off ratio >10⁷ at an annealing temperature of 300°C.
  • Demonstrated superior performance compared to previously reported solution-processable undoped ZnO TFTs and some low-temperature indium-doped ZnO TFTs.
  • Identified oxygen vacancies as the dominant mechanism influencing electron transport and device performance.

Conclusions:

  • Facile, low-cost, solution-processable ZnO TFTs can be fabricated at significantly reduced annealing temperatures (≤300°C).
  • The developed method yields high electron mobility and on/off ratios, competitive with more expensive or high-temperature processes.
  • Controlling oxygen vacancies is critical for optimizing the performance of solution-processed ZnO TFTs.
