TiO2-xNx film was prepared by the combination of sol-gel and spin-coating method on indium-tin oxide (ITO) conducting glass substrate. Then an ITO/TiO2-xNx/NiO composite electrode was obtained by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The morphology, crystal structure and composition of the ITO/TiO2-xNx film were characterized by SEM, XRD, and XPS. The photoelectrochemical properties of the ITO/TiO2-xNx/NiO electrode were evaluated by photocurrent transient measurements and UV-visible transmittance spectra. The results showed that the ITO/TiO2-xNx/NiO electrode was sensitive to light and exhibited a noticeable photoelectrochromism.

In this paper, the indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by a sol-gel spin coating method and then annealed under different temperatures (400, 500 and 550°C) in a mixture atmosphere of 3.75% H2 with 96.25% N2 gases. The microstructure, optical and electrical properties of the prepared films were investigated and discussed. The XRD patterns of the ITO thin films indicated the main peak of the (222) plane and showed a high degree of crystallinity with an increase of the annealing temperature. In addition, due to the pores existing in the prepared films, the optical and electrical properties of the prepared films are degraded through the sol-gel process. Thus, the best transmittance of 70.0 %in the visible wavelength region and the lowest resistivity of about 1.1×10-2 Ω-cm were obtained when the prepared film was annealed at 550°C.

Tungsten oxide (WO3) is a transition metal oxide with a wide range of applications such as displays, rear-view mirrors, electrochromic (EC) smart windows and gas sensors. Many techniques were adopted for the fabrication of WO3, namely magnetron sputtering, spray pyrolysis and sol-gel synthesis techniques. In this work, WO3films were deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glasses by sol-gel spin-coating method. The film thickness was varied by depositing different number of layers. The WO3film thickness and optical transmittance were determined using step profilometer and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, respectively. WO3film thicknesses increased from 38 nm to 606 nmwith increasing number of deposited layers.The optical transmittance of the WO3films in visible range decreased with increasing film thickness. The optical transmittance were at least 70 % up to 10 deposited layers.WO3is a promising EC material in the application ofEC devices (ECDs).The application of WO3in the EC devices will be discussed.

A thin layer of tin oxide with doping Fluorine was synthesized using the sol-gel spin coating method. The synthesis aims to determine the quality of thin layers formed based on temperature variations and the number of layers. The basic material used is SnCl2.2H2O, while the doping material used is NH4F with variations in concentrations of dopants 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%. The substrate used is glass with a size of 10 x 10 x 3 mm. The synthesis of the thin layer includes substrate preparation, sol-gel making, thin film making, and heating process. At this stage SnO2:F is deposited on a glass substrate with sol-gel spin coating technique at the concentration of sol 1 M with doping levels of Fluorine 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%, and treated with maturation for 24 hours. Making a thin layer using a spin coater at a speed of 2000 rpm for 3 minutes. The layer made consists of one layer, two layers, three layers and four layers. The resulting layer shows that the higher the doping percentage, the higher the transparency of the layer. In addition, the more the number of layers, the lower the transparency level. Keywords: Thin Film, Tin Oxide, Fluorine, Sol-gel, Spin Coating

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates via sol-gel spin coating process from a mixed solution of Indium (Ⅲ) acetylacetonate and Tin (Ⅳ) iso-propoxide. Then, ITO thin films were fired at 500°C, and then annealed at 500°C for 30 min with the sequential annealing process; VacuumN2Ar/H2, N2Ar/H2 and Ar/H2 gas. The effects of the different annealing processes on the surface morphologies and sheet resistance of ITO thin films were investigated. Sheet resistance values of ITO thin films treated under VacuumN2Ar/H2, N2Ar/H2 and Ar/H2 annealing process were 1.25 kohm/sq., 3.18 kohm/sq. and 4.92 kohm/sq., respectively. Actually, the sequential atmosphere gases and non-oxidizing gas, which were used in annealing process influenced the microstructural features or surface morphologies of ITO thin films: grain size and surface roughness. Thus, it was presumed that the sequential annealing condition influenced the densification behavior in the microstructural evolution of ITO thin films.
