▎ 摘  要

Present study aimed to develop nanocoating of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) on surfaces of silicon and epitaxial graphene using drop casting and spin coating techniques. Here, we report a systematic study for the influence of sonication, probe sonication, and centrifugation time on the dispersion of CB[7] in aqueous solutions for the preparation of high-quality CB[7] nanocoating. Spin speed, spin time, and spin acceleration have been optimised to attain uniform films with minimum rms. Atomic force microscopy is used to study morphology, rms, and height of CB[7] nanocoating under different parameters. The presence of CB[7] on the nanocoating and its binding nature was determined by Infrared absorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The present method of CB[7] nanocoating preparation is easy, versatile, scalable, and does not need the addition of electrolyte additives. Prepared CB[7] films are high-quality, uniform, and could be used as a novel sensing platform to tether required functional groups.
