Abstract

Background

Devices fabricated on flexible substrates find diverse applications. The advancement of materials and manufacturing methods is critical for improving flexible devices.

Method

This study compares ultrafast Ar and O₂ microwave plasma (MP) treatments in terms of their high energy efficiency and high ionization rate to process solvothermally grown NiCo-metalorganic frameworks (NiCo-MOFs) on flexible carbon paper (CP) substrates.

Significant Findings

Ar MP treatment reduces the oxidation states to reveal metallic states, whereas O₂ MP treatment enhances the oxidation effect with no apparent metallic reduction. Samples treated with Ar MP become less hydrophilic whereas those treated with O₂ MP retain the hydrophilicity of pristine NiCo-MOFs. The oxidation capability of O₂ MP and reduction capability of Ar MP treatments can be beneficial for general materials processing.
