Abstract
An intriguing strategy for the instantaneous synthesis of monoethanolamine and ferric ion based metallohydrogel through direct mixing in water medium has been achieved at room temperature under atmospheric pressure. The mechanical property of the metallohydrogel was investigated through rheological study. The hierarchical architecture of the metallohydrogel was visualized through field emission scanning electron microscopic and EDX spectral investigations. The possible hydrogel formation strategy has been scrutinized through infrared spectroscopic study. Powder X-ray diffraction study of the metallohydrogel has been explored. Optical band gap was estimated which suggests the semiconducting nature of the material. The semiconducting nature of the metallohydrogel was further verified from the electrical property. Finally the technologically challenging device application was realized by the successful fabrication of Schottky barrier diode and different device parameters were estimated to verify the performance. The fabricated diode showed very high On/Off ratio of 375.
