Electrochemical Deposition of ZnO Thin Films on Tin‐Coated Glasses

Abstract

Polarization and morphological characteristics of thin ZnO films deposited on tin-coated glass electrodes are presented. The films were obtained at a low temperature by an electrolytic process, where the cathode potential is an important control variable. The process is also promising as an electrochemical doping technique.

ZnO: From basics towards applications

“…rf-or magneton-sputtering, e.g. for the production of ZnO:Al as transparent conducting oxide layers, spray pyrolysis, sol-gel techniques or electrochemical deposition [34].…”

Electrochemical deposition of ZnO film and its photoluminescence properties

“…Chemical solution processes including sol-gel, [9] hydrothermal synthesis [5,6] supersaturated solution deposition [10] and electrochemical deposition [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] demonstrate the powerful ability to control the crystallization engineering of ZnO. Among them, electrochemical deposition is a time-saving process for the preparation of ZnO film with fine crystalline control [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Simplified kinetic modelling and numerical simulation of a metal oxide chemical bath electro deposition process at a rotating electrode

“…Many processes use vacuum media to obtain tailored materials. Other ones, such as electro-deposition processes, are more and more explored [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], as, sometimes, an interesting alternative. Of particular interest is the synthesis of metal oxide films and nanostructures [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…The case of zinc oxide is probably the most advanced. It provides an interesting case from the mechanistic point of view since, contrary to the case of metal deposition, it is an indirectelectrodeposition process involving both an electrochemical reduction and a chemical precipitation at the interface [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
