This study investigates the electron transport properties between Prussian Blue Analog (PBA) cubic nanocrystals and graphene. It reveals that these nanocrystals exhibit unique characteristics in terms of almost size-independent electron injection barrier and significantly enhanced conductivity compared to PBA films.
We report a study of the electron transport (ET) properties at the nanoscale (conductive-AFM denoted as C-AFM hereafter) of individual Prussian Blue Analog (PBA) cubic nanocrystals (NCs) of CsCoIIIFeII, with a size between 15 and 50 nm deposited on HOPG. We demonstrate that these PBA NCs feature an almost size-independent electron injection barrier of 0.41 +/- 0.02 eV and 0.27 +/- 0.03 eV at the CsCoIIIFeII/HOPG and CsCoIIIFeII/C-AFM tip, respectively, and an intrinsic electron conductivity evolving from a large dispersion between similar to 5 x 10-4 and 2 x 10-2 S cm-1 without a clear correlation with the nanocrystal size. The conductivity values measured on individual nanocrystals are up to fifty times higher than those reported on PBA films.
