“…Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a transparent conducting material widely employed in numerous optoelectronic applications due to its excellent combination of high electrical conductivity and optical transparency [1,2] while maintaining optical transparency [3]. Despite its well-established utility in various optoelectronic devices, the mechanical properties of ITO remain a crucial yet relatively unexplored aspect of its overall performance and reliability [4].…”

This study focuses on applying ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) thin film as a PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) coating in solar cells. While ITO thin films are already used in this field, their efficiency varies based on numerous factors, with the mechanical and electrical properties being the most influential. Understanding and optimizing these properties can significantly enhance the solar cell industry. To achieve this, we conducted film transmittance tests on the as-produced samples under various environmental conditions to investigate their material behavior. Additionally, mechanical and electrical experiments were carried out to analyze and compare these properties under different parameters, with the ultimate goal of improving the PET coating for solar cell applications. By studying and enhancing the performance of ITO thin films, we can contribute to advancements in solar cell technology.

The photocatalytic activity and mechanism of photocatalysts made of ZnO nanoparticles before and after doping with different Cu2+ concentrations were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray diffraction. The nanoparticles were prepared using sol–gel method. UV-vis spectrometers characterized the photocatalytic degradation effect of the composite samples on methyl orange solution. The results of X-ray diffraction showed that the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO changed little by Cu2+ doping. With the increase in doping concentration, the CuO and Cu2O diffraction peaks were detected successively in the crystal. The results of the electron paramagnetic resonance test for all samples indicated three kinds of unpaired electrons with g factors of 2.07, 1.997, and 1.954. Further analysis confirmed them to be Cu2+, V+O, and Zn–H complexes. Photocatalytic degradation results of methyl orange showed that proper doping (c(Cu2+) = 2%) could improve the photocatalytic activity of ZnO. The main reason for the increase was that the substitution of Cu2+ for Zn2+ in the crystal lattice produced Zni, and the Zn atom could act as the donor to release electrons, so that the number of electrons in the material increased, which indirectly increased the superoxide radical content in the solution and improves the photocatalytic activity of ZnO.
