Electrodeposition of Nanostructured ZnO Thin Film: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review paper, a critical analysis was carried out to investigate the effect of cathodic potential, bath temperature, time and nature of substrates on the ZnO thin films synthesized by electrodeposition technique. XRD patterns of the various deposited films were studied to examine the structural characteristics of the Nanostructured ZnO thin films. From the XRD patterns of the different ZnO thin films, it is found that the nanostructured ZnO film had hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure and the crystals were preferably grown along the (002) or (101) planes. The optical properties: Band gaps, transmittance of films, deposited on ITO/FTO coated glass substrates, were also studied by the various optical transmittance spectra. The band gap energy of the deposited ZnO thin films found varying from 3.18 to 3.85eV. Annealing of electrodeposited films decreased the bandgap considerably. Depending on the crystal size, the transmittance of the nanostructured ZnO thin film was found to be

Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanostructured Thin Film by Sol- Gel Method and Evaluation of Gas Sensing Properties
Ethanol (C2H6O) sensitivity of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film has been studied in present work. Semiconductor thin films of zinc oxide (ZnO) were deposited onto alkali-free glass substrates by the sol–gel method and dip-coating technique. The ZnO sol was synthesized by dissolving zinc acetate dehydrate in ethanol, and then adding Tetra ethanol-amine. The as-coated films were preheated at 150 ºC fo...
متن کاملInternal stress induced natural self-chemisorption of ZnO nanostructured films
The energetic particles bombardment can produce large internal stress in the zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film, and it can be used to intentionally modify the surface characteristics of ZnO films. In this article, we observed that the internal stress increased from -1.62 GPa to -0.33 GPa, and the naturally wettability of the textured ZnO nanostructured films changed from hydrophobicity to hydrophilici...

Different ZnO nanostructured films were electrochemically grown, using an aqueous solution based on ZnCl2, on three types of transparent conductive oxides grow on commercial ITO (In2O3:Sn)-covered glass substrates: (1) ZnO prepared by spin coating, (2) ZnO prepared by direct current magnetron sputtering, and (3) commercial ITO-covered glass substrates. Although thin, these primary oxide layers ...
