Azido-enabled thermal history analysis on metal-oxide surface
Abstract
A novel strategy for localized thermal history analysis using organic azides immobilized on ZnO nanowire arrays is presented. The pyrolysis of the surface azido groups followed by the introduction of molecular probes to the residual azido groups via the Huisgen cycloaddition, enables microscale temperature distribution measurement using scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis.
