Today, even though exist a Titanium Nitride Oxide, TiNOX, a very good commercial solar absorber, the efforts to develop new and better solar absorbers like TiNOX are continuing in several laboratories all over the world. In this article, we used the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique to prepare manganese, Mn, Mn-doped α-Fe2O3 dark thin films deposited on titanium substrates. The results of an analysis of the solar absorptance and thermal emittance of these films are also presented here; the optical properties depend of the proportions of Mn and iron, Fe, in the spray solution and of the deposit temperature. The best solar absorptance (0.94) and thermal emittance (0.07) values of the films prepared at 600 °C for iron and manganese ion with concentrations of 0.0015 and 0.0035 mol/l, respectively, are comparable with the optical properties of the Titanium Nitride oxide, TiNOX, a very common commercial solar absorber used as an efficient coating for flat plate solar collectors industry.

Abstract Tin oxide (SnO2) and doped with various concentrations of copper oxide (CuO) of (3, 5, and 7%) nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple, cost-effective, and nontoxic ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique on glass substrates. Crystalline structure, surface morphology of the SnO2 pure and SnO2:CuO, films have been studied by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The effect of CuO doping on the electrical properties of SnO2 films was investigated using Hall effect measurments. The optical properties of the prepared films have been characterized by Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. High distribution densily and good growth SnO2 and SnO2: CuO nanoparticles on the substrate with an average particles size ranged from 30 to 110 nm. The crystalling and grain size were changed according to the CuO doping ratio. There is a redshift within the UV-Vis spectra was observed with an increasing CuO ratio of (3, 5 and 7%)

Electroluminescent devices (ELD) based on junctions of indium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:In) and porous silicon layers (PSL) are presented in this work. PSL with different thicknesses and photoluminescent emission, around 680 nm, were obtained by anodic etching. PSL were coated with a ZnO:In film which was obtained by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique. Once obtained, this structure was optically and electrically characterized. When the devices were electrically polarized they showed stable electroluminescence (EL) which was presented as dots scattered over the surface. These dots can be seen with the naked eye. The observed EL goes from the 410 to 1100 nm, which is formed by different emission bands. The EL emission in the visible region was around 400 to 750 nm, and the emission corresponding to the infrared part covers the 750 to 1150 nm. The electrical characterization was carried out by current-voltage curves(I-V)which show a rectifying behavior of the devices. Observed electroluminescent dots are associated with the electron-hole injection into quantized states in PS as well as the emission from the ZnO:In film.

To overcome the difficulty of preparing the stoichiometric single phase calcium phosphate materials, ultrasonic spray pyrolysis was used to fabricate various calcium phosphates. Effect of the initial Ca/P ratios and pyrolysis temperature were investigated in preparation of single phase materials. Also thermal stability of the obtained powders was estimated with the heat treatment in the air. Crystallinity of the powders was analyzed using XRD and FT-IR. The HAp and β-TCP powders with single phase could be obtained from their stoichiometric Ca/P ratios of 1.50 and 1.67, respectively. These single phase powders with good crystallinity and stoichiometry were stable with respect to heat treatment up to 1000oC. The particle size of these powders would be controlled by the concentration of starting solution.
