Semiconductor microstructures for cellular photostimulation
Tvrdoňová, Anna ; Weiter, Martin (oponent) ; Glowacki, Eric Daniel (vedoucí práce)
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a metastable reactive oxygen species regulating many biological pathways. The role of H2O2 in biological processes depends on its local concentration, in the nM range H2O2 can act as a signalling molecule, while exposure to higher levels of H2O2 can have cytotoxic effects. The aim of this work is to create photosensitive microparticles that would produce physiological amounts of hydrogen peroxide to regulate signalling pathways in cultured cells. The proposed microparticles are substrate-free organic photovoltaic elements that produce H2O2 by photofaradaic reduction of molecular oxygen with the concurrent oxidation of an electron donor present in the electrolyte. The detailed fabrication methods to achieve them were described. The particles have lateral dimensions in the range of micrometres, while a thickness of less than 100 nm. Photofaradaic reactions are driven by tissue-penetrating deep red light (660 nm) to enable potential in vivo applications of the technology. The thesis will discuss optimization of the photofaradaic microparticles production and characterization of the H2O2 evolution.
Novel organic materials for bioelectronic applications
Tumová, Šárka ; Vojtová, Lucy (oponent) ; Humpolíček,, Petr (oponent) ; Weiter, Martin (vedoucí práce)
This thesis is dedicated to material research focused on the field of organic bioelectronics. It aims to characterize and optimize novel materials for the future generation of bioelectronic transistor devices. Such devices are introduced first. Materials that are often used as their active layer and the challenges they bring and which this thesis addresses are mentioned. The attention is focused mainly on PEDOT:PSS, which is one of the most studied and most promising materials for bioelectronics. But despite all its advantageous properties, this material exhibits insufficient biocompatibility. This thesis discusses the possibilities of how to overcome such a drawback and shows approaches that have already been used for this. The specific PEDOT:PSS material modifications are then designed and implemented in the experimental part, aiming to provide a novel material suitable for bioelectronic applications that would represent an improved substitute for PEDOT:PSS, especially with regard to its biocompatibility. First, the modification of the PEDOT:PSS surface with the RGD peptide is shown, targeting the optimization of interactions of material with living cells. The immobilization of the peptide to the polymer surface was achieved using a photochemical approach and the sulfo-SANPAH molecule. The efficiency of such surface modification was studied using several methods, and its effect on the biocompatibility of the material was investigated by an MTT test. The experimental part further deals with the characterization and optimization of PEDOT:DBSA. To enhance its long-term stability, the cross-link using cross-linker DVS and GOPS was studied. The process involving molecule GOPS was investigated in detail, determining the optimal amount of such a dopant to obtain the stable PEDOT:DBSA thin film, its impact on the electrical properties of the resultant material, the effect of temperature on GOPS activity and the mechanism of cross-link. The electrical properties of studied materials were subsequently optimized using sulphuric acid post-treatment. The long-term stability of prepared films in an aqueous environment was examined by a delamination test, their biocompatibility was studied using the MTT test, and their electrical properties were investigated by the four-point probe method. To reveal the potential of proposed thin films for bioelectronic transistor applications, they were used as active layers of model devices and their performance was observed. The last chapter of the experimental part is devoted to the preparation of a conductive PEDOT:PSS hydrogel using DBSA molecule. The aim of this work was to prepare stable, easy-to-handle structures and to design a platform for their reliable electrical characterization. The rheology measurement was used to determine the optimal amount of DBSA leading to the formation of desired structure and to investigate the dependence of the mechanical properties of the hydrogel on its composition. Afterwards, the optimization of the platform for electrical measurement was conducted. The suitability of the interdigitated electrode system was studied together with the optimal electrode material. The platform was modified to prevent extensive evaporation of the dispersion medium from the hydrogel and to achieve system equilibrium. The appropriateness of the proposed platform was tested by long-term measurement of the I-V characteristics of the studied hydrogel.
Novel materials for organic and hybrid electronics and photonics
Kratochvíl, Matouš ; Yumusak,, Cigdem (oponent) ; Táborský, Petr (oponent) ; Weiter, Martin (vedoucí práce)
The field of organic electronics offers the unique possibility of mass production of cheap and environmentally friendly electronics. It opens doors to novel functionalities and device forms not possible with the standard metal- and silicon-based electronics. The possibilities given by the nature of organic compounds and progress in synthetic research supply new materials for photonic applications. The search for novel materials and the investigation of the relationship between the molecular (and crystalline) structure and properties of the material are the main motivation of this thesis. This thesis is focused on study of optical and/or electrical properties of novel materials for photonic applications. The materials presented in the thesis are both organic and hybrid organic-inorganic ones, trying to get the best of both worlds. The research presented in this thesis comprises three distinct parts interconnected by the aim to study the relationship between the structure of material and its properties and by the methods used to study these properties. The first part aims to present efficient solid-state fluorescent (SSF) materials. In this thesis two series of SSF materials are presented. The colour of the emission is controlled by varying the electron withdrawing groups in the push-pull systems of molecules. The results show efficient emission (>10 %) covering most of the visible spectrum (~450–650 nm). The second part of the research investigates the effect of thionation on the well-known small-molecule group of semiconductors, diketopyrrolopyrroles (DPPs). The presented result shows a notable preference for n-type behaviour upon thionation with increase of electron mobilities by orders of magnitude, as well as impressively low lying LUMO levels (~ 4,5 eV) in the studied molecules. The third part of the presented results aims at perovskite materials for photonic applications. The hybrid material, organo-lead-halide perovskite, has been the center of attention of researchers interested in advanced photonics for almost a decade and half. The perovskite solar cells have shown remarkable efficiency, however, their utilization is still hindered by stability issues. A stability study is presented as a reference point for further research on this topic and to gather insight into processes influencing the stability of perovskite material and solar cells. Then an approach to increase the stability and performance of the cell is proposed and tested utilizing materials studied in the second study.

Perovskite solar cells are part of third generation of solar cells and thanks to their atractive properties they are potencional candidates for replacement of silicon solar cells. Inverted planar structure of perovskite solar cells is possible to prepare by low temperature methods and by solution processing techniques. Main aim of this thesis was to prepare and characterize inverted planar perovskite solr cells with a different modification of structure. Perovskite solar cells was prepared with following structures: reference perovskite solar cells, perovskite solar cells with only a perovskite layer, perovskite solar cell without electron transport and perovskite solar cell without hole transport layer. They were prepared simultaneously by spin coating. Methods used for a characterisation of a parameters of this cells were current-voltage characteristic, impedance spektroskopy, meassure of external quantum efficiency and electrolumiscence. Reference perovskite solar cell reached best results folowed by solar cell without hole transport layer. Lowest results were gained by perovskite solar cell without electron transport layer and perovskite solar cell with only perovskite layer, where increased recombination and acumulation of charge were observed,

Sedlák, Jiří ; Salyk, Ota (oponent) ; Weiter, Martin (vedoucí práce)
Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá zkoumáním materiálu PEDOT:DBSA pro možné využití v organické bioelektronice. Nejprve byl standardizován postup pro přípravu vrstev látky PEDOT:DBSA o požadované tloušťce a byla sledována závislost tloušťky na vodivost materiálu. Následně byl testován vliv teplotní stabilizace a látek EG, DMSO a H2SO4 na vodivost připravených vrstev. Pro zvýšení vodivosti byly testovány dva principy. Prvním byl princip přídavku látek jako dopantů do kapalných roztoků polymeru. Druhým způsobem přípravy vzorků byla metoda sekundárního ošetření již připravených vrstev čistého PEDOT:DBSA. Všechny připravené polymerní vrstvy byly charakterizovány pomocí čtyřbodové analýzy a profilometrie.

Tato práce se zabývá fotochromní molekulou spiropyranu, která osvícením UV lampou mění svou strukturu a také fyzikální a chemické vlastnosti. Tyto změny jsou vratné, molekula se při mírném zahřívání vrací zpět do své původní formy. Pro studium byla zvolena fotochromní molekula SP1, jejíž systematický název je: 1',3'-dihydro-1',3',3'-trimethyl-6-nitrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-(2H)-indole]. Tato molekula byla včleněna do polymerů PVK, Tg PPV, PCBTDPP a PCBTDPP a pomocí metody UV-VIS spektroskopie byla sledována fotochromní aktivita v těchto matricích. Byl pozorován vliv prostředí molekuly na její schopnost fotochromní konverze stejně jako na teplem vyvolanou vratnou reakci. Dále bylo zkoumáno, zda tato struktura ovlivňuje elektrické vlastnosti jednotlivých polymerů. Studován byl vliv fotochromní konverze jak na pohyblivost nosičů nábojů, tak na jejich fotogeneraci v rámci polymeru. Pro posouzení efektu konverze spiropyranu na elektrické vlastnosti polymerní matrice bylo využíváno metody volt-ampérových charakteristik.
