Hybrid materials are combinations of two or more different materials, with each material exhibiting distinct characteristics from each other. In most cases, a hybrid material consists of an organic and inorganic material. The constituent materials provide complimentary properties to each other and hence superior performance of the hybrid material.
Molecular Layer Deposition of Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Materials
Published in Ye Zhou, Optoelectronic Organic–Inorganic Semiconductor Heterojunctions, 2021
Hybrid materials are very promising in a large variety of applications such as optics, electronics, mechanics, membranes, new energies, catalysis, and surface engineering. As recently summarized in our review article,8 MLD has fabricated a variety of hybrid materials through adopting one typical ALD metal-containing precursor as the metal source and one MLD organic precursor. In addition, MLD processes can proceed with multiple precursors as well. The metal-containing ALD precursors have been collected in Figure 3.2 while the organic precursors are summarized in Figures 3.3 and 3.4 for growing hybrid materials. In this chapter, we focus on discussing MLD processes for growing metalcones. In terms of metal elements, there to date have been reported seven types of MLD metalcones, including alucones, titanicone, zincone, zircone, hafnicone, mangancone, and vanadicone.

Hybrid materials can deliver better properties compared with their individual counterparts, in which inorganic material can play several roles: enhancing the mechanical, thermal stability, the refractive index with an accessible and interconnected network for sensing /or catalysts or to contribute in magnetic, electronic, redox, electrochemical or chemical properties. Additionally, organic materials have the ability to modify the mechanical properties for the production of films and fibers, and various geometric structures for integrated optics under the controlled network connectivity for a specific physical or chemical property including electrical or optical characteristics, electrochemical behavior, chemical or biochemical reactivity, etc. [63].
Removal of Reactive Red 195 and Methylene Blue dyes by adsorption on the surface of cobalt hydroxide-supported polystyrene waste particles
Published in Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology, 2023
Polymers are favorable adsorbents because they have a large specific surface area, proper mechanical properties, tunable surface chemistry and pore size distribution as well as can be easily regenerated allowing dye recovery.[9,18,19] Polymers adsorbents can be used directly if they have proper adsorbing sites, after being modified for incorporating suitable functional groups that can uptake dyes or combined with other inorganic particles forming hybrid materials. Hybrid materials offer better features than single-based materials.[20,21] Inorganic nanoparticles (e.g., metal oxides, inorganic ion exchangers, and zero valent Fe) have a high tendency toward pollutants in waters, but they are useless on their own because of their low mechanical strength and high tendency toward aggregations, so they are combined with polymers as supporting materials producing hybrid adsorbents.[22] For example, Zn-Fe layered double hydroxides were combined with polypyrrole nanofiber forming composites able to adsorb safranin dye from aqueous media.[23]

Hybrid materials are the synergy of two or more individual materials for the production of advanced materials. It provides an additional degree of freedom which opens new avenues for the development of new materials. Hybrid materials have enhanced properties such as good conductivity, high sorption, better catalytic, mechanical, optical, and magnetic properties [131]. The hybrid materials manufactured by carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers in blend with inorganic (metal oxide) nanoparticles can be able to solve the maximum number of water treatment problems, helpful in preventing air pollution, and recycling of waste. These hydride materials act as proficient sorbents and help in photo catalysis which reduces the usage of materials. Environment electronic magnetic applications of hybrid materials could only be possible by developing enhanced compatibility among the materials used in making hybrids [132]. There is a need of development of novel protocols which proliferate new ideas for an inexpensive and trustworthy approach to the fabrication of advanced hybrid materials [133].

Considerable attention has been devoted to inorganic-organic hybrid materials over recent years mainly because such compounds may combine useful properties from the inorganic as well as the organic moieties within a crystalline molecular scale composite [1–3]. These hybrids are of interest due to their magnetic [4], optical [5], electrical [6,7] properties. Functionality of hybrid materials have improved features for the development of industrial applications, such as fuel and solar cells, biology, catalysts, transportation, etc. [8,9]. Weak interactions play a crucial role in self-assembly and recognition of the solid-state structures. Hydrogen-bonding and other dispersive interactions are the most reliable and widely used means of enforcing molecular recognition of X-ray crystal structures [10–14].
