Characterization of iron oxide thin film prepared by the sol-gel method

ZnO thin films have been prepared by the dip coating sol gel method. Zinc acetate dihydrate, 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine (MEA) were used as precursor, solvent and stabilizer respectively. The synthesized sample was coated on glass substrate as the molarity of the solution was kept constant at 0.1 M. The structural properties and surface morphologies of ZnO thin film were characterized by XRD and FESEM. The optical properties such as transmittance, absorbance, reflectance and refractive index were studied by using UV-Vis. The functional group of the synthesized sample were verified by using FTIR. Average crystallite sizes of the samples were calculated by using Debye-Scherrer's formula. Next, ZnO is coated on POF in order to examine the reaction towards UV light.

AbstractIn the study Li4/3Ti5/3O4 thin films were deposited on Pt substrates by sol-gel method using a spin coator. The coated films are dried at 310-360 °C, and then annealed at 500-800 °C for 30min. The prepared films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that the prepared film belonged to a spinel structure and had a uniform morphology. Electrochemical properties of the prepared electrode films were evaluated by using a discharge and charge test. From these results, it can be showed that the thin film electrode annealed at 700 °C exhibited good crystallinity, smooth surface morphology, high capacity, and good rechargeability. Therefore, This film was therefore suitable for use as an anode for thin-film microbatteries.
