Nanostructured electrodes and their flexible integrated systems have great potential for many applications, including electrochemical energy storage, electrocatalysis and solid-state memory devices, given their ability to improve faradaic reaction sites by large surface area. Although many processing techniques have been employed to fabricate nanostructured electrodes on to flexible substrates, these present limitations in terms of achieving flexible electrodes with high mechanical stability.*

In the study \u201cFlexible 3D Electrodes of Free-Standing TiN Nanotube Arrays Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition with a Ti Interlayer as an Adhesion Promoter<\/em>\u201d by Seokjung Yun, Sang-Joon Kim, Jaesung Youn, Hoon Kim, Jeongjae Ryu, Changdeuck Bae, Kwangsoo No and Seungbum Hong, the adhesion, mechanical properties and flexibility of TiN nanotube arrays on a Pt substrate were improved using a Ti interlayer. Highly ordered and well aligned TiN nanotube arrays were fabricated on a Pt substrate using a template-assisted method with an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template and atomic layer deposition (ALD) system.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authors show that with the use of a Ti\ninterlayer between the TiN nanotube arrays and Pt substrate, the TiN nanotube\narrays could perfectly attach to the Pt substrate without delamination and\nfaceted phenomena. Furthermore, the I-V curve measurements confirmed that\nthe electric contact between the TiN nanotube arrays and substrate for use\nas an electrode was excellent, and its flexibility was also good for use in\nflexible electronic devices. Future efforts will be directed toward the\nfabrication of embedded electrodes in flexible plastic substrates by employing\nthe concepts demonstrated in this study.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presented strategy\nprovides a new class of nanostructured 3D electrodes to overcome\ncritical mechanical stability, thus providing a great potential platform for application\nin a flexible integrated device.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topography and transport properties were investigated using a conductive atomic force microscope with NanoWorld Pointprobe\u00ae<\/a> EFM<\/a> AFM probes ( Pt-coated conductive AFM tips).*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
