We report all-solution-processed transparent conductive electrodes based on Ag nanowire (AgNW)-embedded metal oxide composite films for application in organometal halide perovskite solar cells. To address the thermal instability of Ag nanowires, we used combustive sol-gel derived thin films to construct ZnO/ITO/AgNW/ITO composite structures. The resulting composite configuration effectively pre...

The cadmium chalcogenides CdSexTe1-x ( 1 x 0 ≤ ≤ ) thin films have been electrodeposited onto ITO coated glass substrates from an acid sulfate solution at 90 °C. The structure, the composition and the morphology have been studied as a function of the x coefficient by XRD, EDAX, optical absorbance and AFM techniques. All deposits have a cubic structure with a preferred orientation along the (111...

The novel multifunctional thin films composed of transition metal complex tris(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) Ru(phen)3Cl2 (abbr Ru(phen)3, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), and Dawson-type polyoxometalate [P2Mo18O62]6− (abbr P2Mo18) were fabricated on quartz, silicon and ITO substrates by layer-by-layer (LBL) method. The LBL films deposition were found to be linearly related to the number of bil...

A new laser transfer process is reported which allows damage-free transfer of ferroelectric thin films from a growth substrate directly to a target substrate. The thin film ferroelectric material is deposited on a fused silica growth substrate with a sacrificial release layer of ITO (indium tin oxide). Regions of the film that are to be transferred are then selectively metallised, and bonded to...

This paper aims to investigate the effect of annealing on structural and optical properties ZnO/ITO AZO/ITO thin films. In preparation ZnO AZO films, zinc acetate dehydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O), ethanol, diethanolamine (DEA), AlCl3 were used as a starting material, solvent, stabilizer, dopant sources, respectively. Both films fabricated ITO (indium tin oxide) substrates using spin coating techniq...

Conductive nanotubes consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO) were fabricated by electroless deposition using ion track etched polycarbonate templates. To produce nanotubes (NTs) with thin walls and small surface roughness, the tubes were generated by a multi-step procedure under aqueous conditions. The approach reported below yields open end nanotubes with well defined outer diameter and wall thic...

The nonlinear absorption (NLA) properties of ITO thin films were performed by utilizing femtosecond (100 fs), a high-repetition rate (80 MHz), and near-infrared (NIR) (750–820 nm) laser pulses. A radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system was used to prepare two different thicknesses. scanning electron microscope determine the film thickness UV–Visible spectrophotometer observe linear opt...
