23. The ITO glass slides (Samsung Electronics, South Korea) with a surface resisitivity of 20 Ω/□ were cleaned sequentially by ultra-sonicating in Decon 90 (Decon Laboratories Ltd.), distilled water, ethanol, water, methanol, methanol/toluene (1:1), and then toluene. The slides were then immersed in (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (5 wt % in toluene) under a nitrogen atmosphere for 16 h. The slides were then rinsed by untrasonicating sequentially in toluene, methanol/ toluene (1:1), methanol, and then water. After drying in a vacuum oven, the slides were used for further deposition processes.
24. The preparation of one bilayer involved the dipping of an ITO glass slide in different solutions for a certain time in the following sequence: water, SPAN in water (0.08 mg/mL), water, ethanol, DMF, 1 in DMF (0.09 mg/mL), DMF, and ethanol. The dipping time was 15 min for the two polyelectrolyte solutions and 2 min for each rinsing solvent. This process was repeated until the desired number of bilayers was achieved.
