The three-point adsorption of tripod-shaped molecules enables the formation of robust self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on solid surfaces, where the component molecules are fixed in a strictly upright orientation. In the present study, SAMs of a rigid molecular tripod consisting of an adamantane core and three CH2SH groups were employed to arrange ferrocene on a gold surface through oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) linkers. Cyclic voltammetry of the monolayers demonstrated high surface coverage of ferrocene, yet the molecular interaction among adjacent ferrocene units was negligible. This was because of the extended intermolecular distance caused by the bulky tripod framework. The rates of electron transfer from the ferrocene to the gold surface through different linker lengths were determined by electrochemical measurements, from which the decay factor for oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) wire was evaluated.

Current collectors are essential features of batteries and many other electronic devices being responsible for efficient charge transport to active electrode materials. Three-dimensional (3D), high surface area current collectors considerably improve the performance of cathodes and anodes in batteries, but their technological implementation is impeded by the complexity of their preparation, which needs to be simple, fast, and energy efficient. Here we demonstrate that field-stimulated assembly of ∼3 nm copper nanoparticles (NPs) enables the preparation of porous Cu NP films. The use of NP dispersions enables 30× reduction of the deposition current for making functional 3D coatings. In addition to high surface area, lattice-to-lattice connectivity in the self-assembly of NPs in 3D structures enables fast charge transport. The mesoscale dimensions of out-of-plane features and the spacing between them in Cu films made by field-stimulated self-assembly of NPs provides promising morphology for current collection in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Half-cell electrochemical models based on self-assembled films show improved specific capacity, total capacity, and cycling performance compared to traditional flat and other 3D current collectors. While integration of active electrode material into the 3D topography of the current collector needs to be improved, this study indicates that self-assembled NP films represent a viable manufacturing approach for 3D electrodes.
