Chemical Bath Deposition: Thin Films with Assorted Morphologies

Synthesis and electrochemical application of two-dimensional manganese-based materials

“…Nonetheless, this method faces several limitations such as the quality of the films being susceptible to various factors which are difficult to control, the poor crystallinity of the films necessitating annealing, and the weak adhesion leading to the films being prone to detachment. 87 Researchers such as Pujari et al have used manganese sulfate (MnSO 4 ) as the manganese source, hexamethylenetetramine (HMT, C 6 H 12 N 4 ) as the complexing agent, sodium thiosulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 3 ) as the sulfur source, and stainless steel as the substrate, employing the CBD method to fabricate MnS films (Fig. 2l and m).…”
