description | In this paper, a simple, inexpensive, and rapid method for the fabrication of controlled layer candle soot film has been reported by interface self-assembly and transferred method. The mechanism of candle soot self-assembly is explained and their morphology, elemental composition, optical, and wetting properties are characterized. The uniformity and thickness of prepared films especially depend on the concentration of candle soot mixed solution (alcohol and deionized water). The results show that the optimal concentration of candle soot solution is approximately ~0.2% wt/mL. In addition, the absorption spectra of the controlled-layer candle soot films are determined by the number of layers and the surface morphology. The hydrophobic properties of candle soot films are closely related to their layer number. When these films reach to the fourth layer, the water contact angle and roll-off angle are measured as 142° ± 2° and 6°, respectively. The controlled assembly CS films have the potential application in photo/electrocatalysis, solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, and water splitting. |
