Thin films of undoped, fluoride- and antimony- doped tin oxide on glass were prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. The aerosols were atomized from precursor solution by a commercial ultrasonic generator. Tin chloride(SnCl2.2H2O), ammonium fluoride (NH4F), and antimony chloride (SbCl3) were used as a source for tin, fluoride, and antimony respectively. For the undoped tin oxide film, the solution of 0.8 M tin chloride was used as a precursor solution. While fluoride-doped tin oxide films (FTO), the solution of 0.8 M SnCl2.2H2O in ethanol and varying amounts of NH4F dissolved in 0.2 M HCl (0.6 mL) were used as a precursor solution. The doping concentrations of NH4F were 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 M. For the antimony- doped tin oxide films (ATO), the doping concentrations of SbCl3 dissolved in butanol (10 mL) are 0, 0.016, 0.032, 0.048, 0.064 and 0.080 M. The aerosols were sprayed on the hot glass substrates by air at a flow rate of 1 L/minute through a PVC and glass tubing for 20 minutes for every solution. Substrate temperature was kept at 320 ± 15 °C for undoped and fluoride-doped tin oxide films and at 390 ± 20 °C for antimony- doped tin oxide films. The electrical and optical properties of the films were characterized by four-point probe measurement and UV/VIS spectrophotometer. The best FTO film exhibits the resistivity of 53.83 W-cm and the light transmission of 88.18%. While the best ATO exhibits the resistivity of 61.03 W-cm and the light transmission of 86.45%.

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).

Vanadium oxide films were prepared via the sol–gel process and dip coating method, using V2O5as raw materials and H2O2(volume fraction 30) as the solvent. Mn and Ni ions were added to vanadium oxide sol to prepare doping vanadium oxide films. The films were characterized by atomic force microscopy, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction and electrochemical techniques. The add-on of Metal ions will not affect the morphology of the vanadium oxide films, but change the valence of vanadium ion and vanadium oxide crystal phase. Furthermore, cyclic voltammetry curves show that metal ions doping vanadium oxide films exhibit reversible electrochemical reaction. But electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicates pure vanadium oxide film has a better diffusion rate.

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.
