ABSTRACTA new preparation route for an dielectric NIR-reflexion filter on glass is described. Coating sols are synthesized from SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles with photopolymerizable surface ligands. A 5-layer stack consisting of 2 SiO2 and 3 TiO2 layers was deposited on float glass by angledependent dip-coating (ADDC) with a fixed angle of 4° to the vertical and subsequent UV-curing. Finally, the whole stack was densified at 450 °C without cracking or discolouring. UV-vis-NIR transmittance and reflectance spectra show a steep increase of reflectance at 750 nm. In the range between 800 nm and 1200 nm, the reflectance is > 80 %. The visible transmittance is about 72 % due to single reflexion peaks. The bandwidth of the NIR reflection filter prepared by ADDC is about 200 nm larger and its maximum reflectance is only 5 % smaller compared to vertical dip-coating. The interference layer stack shows excellent stability in Taber Abraser, rubber, saline and UV tests, indicating a high potential for practical application.

Base catalyzed sol-gel derived porous SiO2 coatings are prospectively used as antireflective (AR) layer for encapsulating solar modules. In this paper, the properties of SiO2 AR layers coated on solar glass by different dip-coating and annealing conditions are investigated and optimized. It is shown that the transmittance of the AR coating is affected by these preparation conditions which closely related to the thickness and surface morphology. As results, the SiO2 coating had a better performance both in transmittance and adhesion when the dip-coating speed and the annealing temperature are 0.036mm/s and 300°C respectively. Further more, TMCS hydrophobic treatment was adopted to make the AR coating meet the demands of practical application.

A simple laboratory technique for the routine preparation of antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) on float glass substrates (25×76×1mm3) was described. The process employed sol-gel dip-coating approach in the absolute ethanol solution of metal salts of tin (II) chloride dehydrate and antimony trichloride. Microstructural and morphological analyses of as-prepared films were performed at different conditions. With increase of annealing temperature from 400 to 550°C, the evolution of grain size and the morphologies of ATO films were analyzed by means of atom force microscopy (AFM). The studies on the morphological development suggested that higher annealing temperature led to a decrease in the surface roughness of the deposited films. The XRD patterns revealed that as-prepared ATO films were in the crystallization of a tetragonal rutile structure of SnO2 with highly (110) preferred orientation.

We describe a method for controlled preparation of sol-gel ceramic multilayer coatings obtained by dip-coating. The proposed fabrication routine guarantees obtaining crack-free multilayer coatings with control of the thickness and porosity of individual layers. The procedure is applied to obtain a 10-layer ZrO2–3 mol% Y2O3 coating deposited on AISI 310 stainless steel. The microstructure of this coating was investigated by using x-ray powder diffractometry and atomic force microscopy, and special consideration was given to the mechanical characterization of this thin film using ultramicrohardness indentation tests. Our results suggest that these zirconia coatings have good properties for use as protection barriers. Implications concerning general tailoring design of sol-gel dip-coatings are also considered.

AbstractWe report on the fabrication of all transparent heterojunction thin film diodes of the form glass/n-ZnO: Al/p-CuAlO2 produced by a combinatorial chemical and physical technique and on a study of their electro-optical properties. The n-ZnO: Al layer was deposited by a sol-gel-dip-coating process whereas the p-CuAlO2 layer was deposited by direct current sputtering techniques. The diode structure, with a total thickness of 1100 nm showed around 60% transmittance in the visible region. The current-voltage characteristics of the device showed a rectifying nature, with a low turn-on voltage around 0.8 V, having a rectification ratio > 50 at ± 2 V. The low turn-on voltage and moderate visible transmittance of the transparent diode indicate its potential application in the field of “Transparent” or “Invisible Electronics”.

Deposition of highly textured ReBa2Cu3O7−δ (RBCO) films on metallic substrates requires a buffer layer to prevent chemical reactions, reduce lattice mismatch between metallic substrate and superconducting film layer, and to prevent diffusion of metal atoms into the superconductor film. Nickel tapes are bi-axially textured by cold rolling and annealing at appropriate temperature (RABiTS) for epitaxial growth of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) films. As buffer layers, several oxide thin films and then YBCO were coated on bi-axially textured nickel tapes by dip coating sol-gel process. Biaxially oriented NiO on the cube-textured nickel tape by a process named Surface-Oxidation- Epitaxy (SEO) has been introduced as an alternative buffer layer. in this work we have studied in situ growth of nickel oxide by ESEM and hot stage.Representative cold rolled nickel tape (99.999%) was annealed in an electric furnace under 4% hydrogen-96% argon gas mixture at 1050°C to get bi-axially textured nickel tape.

ABSTRACTMacroporous silicate thick films were prepared by a sol-gel dip-coating method accompanied by the phase separation using methyl-trimethoxysilane (MTMS), nitric acid and dimethylformamide (DMF) as starting components. The morphology of the film varied to a large extent depending on the time elapsed after the hydrolysis until the dipping of the coating solution. On a glass substrate, the films prepared by early dipping had inhomogeneous submicrometer-sized pores on the surface of the film. At increased reaction times, relatively narrow sized isolated macropores were observed and their size gradually decreased with the increase of reaction time. On a polyester substrate, in contrast, micrometer-sized isolated spherical gel domains were homogeneously deposited by earlier dippings. With an increase of reaction time, the volume fraction of the gel phase increased, then the morphology of the coating transformed into co-continuous gel domains and macropores, and finally inverted into the continuous gel domains with isolated macropores. The overall morphological variation with the reaction time was explained in terms of the phase separation and the structure freezing by the forced gelation, both of which were induced by the evaporation of methanol during the dipping operation.

In this study, an aqueous sol-gel synthesis method and subsequent dip-coating technique were applied for the preparation of yttrium iron garnet (YIG), yttrium iron perovskite (YIP), and terbium iron perovskite (TIP) bulk and thin films. The monophasic highly crystalline different iron ferrite powders have been synthesized using this simple aqueous sol-gel process displaying the suitability of the method. In the next step, the same sol-gel solution was used for the fabrication of coatings on monocrystalline silicon (100) using a dip-coating procedure. This resulted, likely due to substrate surface influence, in all coatings having mixed phases of both garnet and perovskite. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis of the precursor gels was carried out. All the samples were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis. The coatings were also investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Magnetic measurements were also carried out.

The sol-gel method provides a wide variety of applications in the medical field. One of these applications is the formation of coatings on the metal implants. The coatings containing specific additive can enhance or improve the existing surface properties of the substrate. In this work, titania sol-gel coatings were doped with two forms of silver (AgNO3, Ag3PO4) and synthetic hydroxyapatite and applied on the titanium samples by dip-coating technique. After drying and slow firing, all coatings were characterized with scanning electron microscopy. Thin coatings were successfully prepared with excellent adhesion to the substrate (measured by ASTM D 3359-2), despite cracks. Coatings containing silver and hydroxyapatite demonstrated a 100% antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli after 24 h. The bioactivity of the coatings containing hydroxyapatite tested in modified simulated body fluid under static-dynamic conditions was confirmed by bone-like hydroxyapatite precipitation. To better understand the interaction of the coatings with simulated body fluid (SBF), changes of Ca2+ and (PO4)3− ions concentrations and pH values were studied.
