YAG:Ce3+ nanostructured particles obtained via spray pyrolysis of polymeric precursor solution

Many studies have been reported in the literature related to YSZ films deposited on dense substrate or applied directly on the SOFC anode. However, there are not a lot of studies about the YSZ deposition on the cathode. The present work aims to obtain yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), using the spray pyrolysis technique, for their application as electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The films were obtained from a precursor solution containing zirconium and yttrium salts, dissolved in ethanol and propylene glycol (1:1), this solution was sprayed onto a heated LSM porous substrate. The substrate temperature was varied in order to obtain dense and homogeneous films. After deposition, the films were heat treated, aiming to crystallize and stabilize the zirconia cubic phase. The films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR).

As major attention has been paid to transition metal oxide semiconductor suitable for solar cell, photo detector and gas sensor, present study embark on the structural, optical and electrical characterization of Ag doped CuO thin films prepared using chemical spray pyrolysis technique at the constant substrate temperature of 350 �C. For Ag doping, various concentrations of silver acetate (0.5-3.0 wt.%) was used in the sprayed precursor solution. Confirmed monoclinic lattice shows the tenorite phase formation of CuO in the pure and Ag doped films. The optical band gap of the films was in the range of 2.4 -3.4 eV. A minimum resistivity of 0.0017x103 ohmcm was achieved in the 0.5 wt.% Ag doped film, and its optical band gap was 2.74 eV.

The spray pyrolysis technique was employed to deposit V2O5 thin films on a glass substrate. By varying the precursor solution volume from 10[Formula: see text]mL to 50[Formula: see text]mL in steps of 10[Formula: see text]mL, films of various thicknesses were prepared. Orthorhombic polycrystalline V2O5 films were inferred from the XRD pattern irrespective of precursor solution volume. The micro-Raman studies suggested that annealed V2O5 thin film has good crystallinity. The effect of precursor solution volume on morphological and optical properties were analysed and reported.

Dried plum-like ZnO assemblies consisting ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method (USP). ZnO assemblies were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and field-emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show the size of ZnO assemblies is in the range of 300–870 nm, and that of ZnO nanoparticles is from 33 nm to 39 nm. The microstructure and size of ZnO assemblies were successfully controlled by the concentration of the precursor solution.
