Strain engineering combined with standard top-down techniques is shown to be eligible to fabricate compact three dimensional architectures based on rolled-up Co/Cu nanomembranes. The fabrication process is fully integrative and provides rolled-up tubes of high quality and yield (∼95%). Rolled-up tubes with two windings show magnetoresistances (MR) ∼20% higher than those observed in thin films. The enhancement of magnetoresistance is most likely due to the coupling between neighboring windings, variations of the Cu layer thickness, and increased effective area crossed by current lines in the film plane. Present results inhere new potential for magnetic sensing and electronic components.

Prussian blue (PB) layers were electrodeposited for the fabrication of Au/PB/Ag stacks to study the resistive switching effect. The PB layers were characterized by different techniques to prove the homogeneity, composition, and structure. Electrical measurements confirmed the bipolar switching behavior with at least 3 orders of magnitude in current and the effect persisting for the 200 cycles tested. The low resistance state follows the ohmic conduction with an activation energy of 0.2 eV.

In this work, iron hexacyanoferrate (FeHCF—Prussian blue) particles have been grown onto a reduced graphene oxide substrate through a pulsed electrodeposition process. Thus, the prepared FeHCF electrode exhibits a specific volumetric capacitance of 88 F cm⁻³ (specific areal capacitance of 26.6 mF cm⁻²) and high cycling stability with a capacitance retention of 93.7% over 10,000 galvanostatic charge–discharge cycles in a 1 M KCl electrolyte. Furthermore, two identical FeHCF electrodes were paired up in order to construct a symmetrical supercapacitor, which delivers a wide potential window of 2 V in a 1 M KCl electrolyte and demonstrates a large energy density of 27.5 mWh cm⁻³ at a high power density of 330 W cm⁻³.

The electrical conduction mechanism of resistive switching Prussian white (PW) thin films obtained by the electrodeposition method was examined by AC impedance spectroscopy and DC current–voltage measurements. Using an electrode tip to contact PW grown over Au, robust unipolar resistive switching was observed with a current change of up to three orders of magnitude, high repeatability, and reproducibility. Moreover, electrical impedance spectroscopy showed that the resistive switching comes from small conductive filaments formed by potassium ions before the establishment of larger conductive channels. Both voltammetry and EIS measurements suggest that the electrical properties and conductive filament formation are influenced by defects and ions present in the grain boundaries. Thus, PW is a potential material for the next generation of ReRAM devices.

We have investigated single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) networks wrapped with the cationic surfactant sodium dodecyl-benzenesulfonate (SBDS) as promising candidates for water detection. This is the first time that the humidity behavior of endohedral Li-doped (Li@) and undoped SWCNTs/SDBS has been shown. We identified a strong and almost monotonic decrease in resistance as humidity increased from 11 to 97%. Sensitivities varied between −3 and 65% in the entire humidity range. Electrical characterization, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis revealed that a combination of the electron donor behavior of the water molecules with Poole-Frenkel conduction accounted for the resistive humidity response in the Li@SWCNT/SDBS and undoped SWCNT/SDBS networks. We found that Li@SWCNTs boosted the semiconducting character in mixtures of metallic/semiconducting SWCNT beams. Moreover, electrical characterization of the sensor suggested that endohedral Li doping produced SWCNT beams with high concentration of semiconducting tubes. We also investigated how frequency influenced film humidity sensing behavior and how this behavior of SWCNT/SDBS films depended on temperature from 20 to 80 ${}^{°}$ C. The present results will certainly aid design and optimization of SWCNT films with different dopants for humidity or gas sensing in general.

Sodium iron hexacyanoferrate (NaFeHCF) films were electrodeposited on Au/Cr/Si for the study of growth behavior and physical properties. The NaFeHCF films were studied by different analytical methods to prove the chemical composition, morphology and crystal structure. The grains of the film grow with a cubic structure with an average lattice parameter of 10.10 Å and the preferential growth direction along the [111] direction of the cubic cell. The films show a repeatable bipolar resistive switching behavior accompanied by high current changes (up to a factor of ~10⁵). The different resistive states in the materials are dominated by ohmic conduction.
