ZnO nanocrystalline thin films have been prepared on glass substrates by sol-gel dip coating method. The ZnO thin films have been coated at room temperature for the pH value of 10 and annealed at 300°, 400° and 500°C respectively. The X- ray diffraction pattern shows that ZnO nanocrystalline thin films are of hexagonal structure and the grain size is found to be in the range of 25-45 nm. Scanning electron microscope images show that the surface morphology improves with increase of annealing temperature. The TEM analysis reveals the formation of ZnO nanocrystalline with an average grain size of 44 nm. The compositional analysis results show that Zn and O are present in the sample. The optical studies shows that the films are highly transparent and exhibit a direct band gap. The band gap has been found to lie in the range of 3.07 to 3.32 nm depending on the annealed temperature suggesting the formation of ZnO nanocrystalline thin films.

Recent research papers for zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films prepared by dip-coating method are reviewed. The aim is on the factors affecting the properties of ZnO thin films prepared by dip-coating method and the preparation of ZnO solution precursor using sol-gel process. Several of journals have been discovered to find out the related study on this topic. It was found that solution chemical equilibrium, substrate and thermal processing are the factors that contribute to the various properties of ZnO thin films. This review hopefully can help in improving the properties of ZnO thin film for possible applications to photoconductor, integrated sensor, transparent conducting oxide electrodes, optoelectronic devices and so on.

(PbySr1-y)ZnxTi1-xO3-x thin films were prepared on ITO/glass substrate by sol–gel process using dip-coating method. The phase structure, morphology, and dielectric properties of thin films were investigated by XRD, SEM and impedance analyzer, respectively. The perovskite phase structure was exhibited in the Zn-doped PST thin films. The formation ability of the thin films of the perovskite phase and its grain size decreased with the increase in doping Zn. The dielectric constant of the thin film was influenced by oxygen vacancies which could be controlled by Zn doping.

In this study, we have successfully synthesized Fe3+ doped SiO2/TiO2 thin films on glass substrates using the sol-gel dip-coating method. After synthesizing, the samples were annealed at 5000C in the air for 1 hour. The characteristics and optical properties of Fe3+ doped SiO2/TiO2 films were then investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). An antifogging ability of the glass substrates coated with the fabricated film is investigated and explained by a water contact angle under visible-light. The analyzed results also show that the crystalline phase of TiO2 thin films comprised only the anatase TiO2, but the crystalline size decreased from 8.8 to 5.9 nm. We also observed that the absorption edge of Fe3+- doped SiO2/TiO2 thin films shifted towards longer wavelengths (i.e. red shifted) from 371.7nm to 409.2 nm when the Fe3+-doped concentration increased from 0 to 1 % mol.

Fluorocyclophospazenes’ derivatives were used as modifiers for improving tribological properties of thin films prepared by sol-gel technique. Thin films were made on the base of aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). All films were deposited by dip-coating method and post-treated by heat, UV radiation and low pressure of RF plasma. Chemical changes in sol-gel films during all steps of post-treatments and modifications were monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy and SIMS spectrometry. Topographies of modified surfaces were imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). After final modification significant improvements of frictional properties were observed as well as their very good thermal stability.
