Epitaxial Growth of Sr x Ba1 − x Nb2O6 Thin Films Prepared from Sol-Gel Process

In this study, we prepared Sr _x Ba_{1 – x} Nb₂O₆ (x = 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) thin film on 0.75 wt% La doped SrTiO₃ (100) and (110) single crystal substrates. A homogeneous coating solution was prepared with Sr and Ba acetates and Nb(OEt)₅ as raw materials, and acetic acid and diethlene glycol monomethyl ether as solvents. The substrates were coated with the solution by spin coating method. As-coated thin films were heated from 973 to 1273 K in air. The grains of the thin film on La doped SrTiO₃ (100) were pillar shaped and arranged in right angle to each other. On the other hand, the grains of these thin films on La doped SrTiO₃ were pillar shape and arranged in one direction. The crystallographic relationship of the thin film between Sr _x Ba_{1 – x} Nb₂O₆ and substrate that the 130 and 310 direction of the thin film on the substrate were oriented with c-axis in parallel to the substrate surface. On the other hand, (hk0) phase diffractions of Sr _x Ba_{1 – x} Nb₂O₆ thin film on the substrate (110) were investigated in the XRD theta-2theta measurement. It is expected that the Sr _x Ba_{1 – x} Nb₂O₆ (x = 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) were highly oriented or epitaxial growing on La doped SrTiO₃ (110) single crystal substrate.     

Synthesis and characterization of nano-silica gel aged under microwave radiation from white sandstone

Double perovskite La₂NiMnO₆ thin film was successfully prepared on (001)-oriented 0.7 wt% Nb-doped SrTiO₃ single crystal substrate by chemical solution deposition method. The microstructures as well as properties were investigated. The results show that the derived thin film is an admixture of Ni/Mn ordering, and two ferromagnetic transitions are observed with Curie temperatures of 289 and 110 K, respectively. A crossover from positive to negative magnetodielectric effect is observed near room temperature. The success preparation of La₂NiMnO₆ thin film by chemical solution deposition will provide a useful method to deposit double perovskite multiferroic thin films with low-cost.     

Synthesis and Properties of Highly Conductive Thin Films as Buffer Layer from Sol-Gel Process

We prepared epitaxial growth SrRuO₃ thin film on LaAlO₃ (001) (LAO) single crystal substrate and highly oriented BaTiO₃ ferroelectric thin film on the epitaxial SrRuO₃ thin film. A homogeneous precursor solution for preparing SrRuO₃ thin film was prepared with Sr(O—i—C₃H₇)₂ and Ru(NO)(NO₃)₃ as starting materials, and 2-methoxy ethanol as solvents. The as-coated thin films were heat treated at temperatures from 723 to 1273 K for 1 h in air. SrRuO₃ grew epitaxially on LAO(001) substrate, which were confirmed by XRD theta-2theta method and XRD pole figure analysis. The crystallographic relationship of the film and substrate was SrRuO₃(001) parallel to LAO(001) and SrRuO₃[110] parallel to LAO[100]. A homogeneous precursor solution for preparing BaTiO₃ thin film was prepared with Ti[O—n—(CH₂)₃CH₃]₄ and Ba(OCOCH₃)₂ as starting materials, and acetic acid, 2-methoxy ethanol. SrRuO₃ coated LAO substrates were coated by spin-coating method with the coating solution. The as-coated thin films were heat treated at temperatures from 973 to 1173 K in air. It was confirmed that the thin films were growing orientated for c-axis by measurement of XRD theta-2theta method.     

Orientation control of perovskite thin films on glass substrates by the application of a seed layer prepared from oxide nanosheets

Orientation control of perovskite compounds was investigated by the application of a seed layer prepared from oxide nanosheets. An aqueous suspension of oxide nanosheets was prepared by the exfoliation of a layered compound of KCa₂Nb₃O₁₀ oxide grains. A seed layer composed of (TBA)Ca₂Nb₃O₁₀ nanosheets (TBA = tetrabutylammonium) was formed on a glass substrate by simply dip coating it in the suspension. Two kinds of perovskite compounds, LaNiO₃ (LNO) and Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) with a preferred orientation of (00l) were successfully grown on this seeded glass substrate. In this study, the relation between lattice mismatch and electrical properties is investigated. A large, oriented PZT film with a size of 5 ×4 cm shows an improved P-E hysteresis behavior by use of this orientation control.     

Crystallization of textured PbTiO3 films deposited from gels

Sol-gel processed PbTiO₃ thin films have been deposited by spin coating onto different subtrates; Si[111], Si/Al, Si/SiO₂/Cr/Pt, MgO[100], SrTiO₃[100] and sapphire. Interactions between the substrate and PbTiO₃ films after heat treatment have been studied by X-ray diffraction and Rutherford Back Scattering. When deposited onto sapphire and Si[111], PbTiO₃ films exhibit a preferred orientation with (101) perpendicular to the substrate. These films become oriented along (100) onto MgO and (001) onto SrTiO₃[100] substrates. A strong channelling effect is observed by the RBS technique when the film is oriented along the c axis on SrTiO₃[100] suggesting that these films are epitaxially grown. The diffusion of metal atoms during the thermal treatment gives rise to the formation of lead silicate on Si[111] substrates. As a result a pyrochlore phase is formed. Lead titanate films on Si/SiO₂/Cr/Pt and Si/Al substrates are polycrystalline and do not exhibit any texture.     

Preparation and Characterization of Bismuth Doped TiO2 Thin Films

A series of Bismuth-doped titanium oxide (Bi-doped TiO₂) thin films on glass substrates have been prepared by sol-gel dip coating process. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD and XPS. The photocatlytic activity of the thin film catalysts was evaluated through the photodegradation of aqueous methyl orange under UV illumination. The experiments demonstrated that the Bi-doped TiO₂ prepared was anatase phase. The doped bismuth was in the 3⁺ oxidation state. The presence of Bi significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ films. At calcination temperature of 500°C, with doping concentration of 2 wt %, Bi-doped TiO₂ thin film showed the highest photocatalyic activity.     

Influence of thermal treatment on the ion-storage capacity of Ce oxide and Ce-V mixed oxide films

Thin films and the corresponding xerogels of CeO₂ and Ce-V mixed oxides with a molar ratio equal to 2 (Ce/V=2) were prepared from CeCl₃·7H₂O and NH₄VO₃ precursors using the sol-gel route and the dip-coating technique. The thermal decomposition of both forms of samples (thin films and xerogels) were studied by dynamic TG and DSC in two different atmospheres (air and argon). For the thermal studies the thin films were deposited on aluminium foil to reduce the unfavourable substrate to film mass ratio S/F, which is a consequence of using a glass substrate. The mode of heat treatment in a tube furnace of films deposited on conductive glass was defined from the TG curves of the films. The influence of annealing conditions (temperature, atmosphere and time) on the charge capacity of the films during application of the cycling process is reported.     

Design of highly ordered Ag-SrTiO3 nanotube arrays for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange

Ag-SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays were successfully prepared for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under ultraviolet irradiation. In order to form highly ordered SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays, the preparation of TiO₂ nanotube arrays by anodic oxidation of titanium foil in different electrolytes was investigated. The selected organic solvents in electrolytes include glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide and glycol. The results indicate that the morphology of TiO₂ nanotube arrays prepared in glycol containing ammonium fluoride electrolyte is more regular. Then SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using TiO₂ nanotube arrays as the precursor. In order to further improve the photocatalytic activity of SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays, Ag nanoparticles were loaded on SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays by two sets of experiments. The loaded Ag results in an enhancement of photocatalytic activity of SrTiO₃ nanotube arrays. Moreover, the effect of pH on the photocatalytic degradation of MO was also studied.     

Preparation of nanocrystalline TiO2 thin film at low temperature and its application in dye-sensitized solar cell

The electrophoretic deposition combined with common pressure hydrothermal treatment was employed to prepare nanocrystalline TiO₂ thin film from suspension of tetra-n-butyl titanate and P25 at low temperature. The tetra-n-butyl titanate was hydrolyzed and crystallized into anatase to interconnect nanocrystalline TiO₂ particles and to stick them to a conductive substrate by common pressure hydrothermal treatment to improve the electron transport properties of the deposited thin film. A dye-sensitized solar cell based on TiO₂ thin film prepared by the low temperature method yielded the conversion efficiency of 6.12%. Due to the relative slower electron transport rate in the deposited film, its conversion efficiency was slightly lower than that of the cell with TiO₂ thin film prepared by the conventional high temperature sintering method. Since it is free of high temperature sintering step, this method can be used to prepare nanocrystalline TiO₂ thin film on plastic polymer conductive substrate for fabrication of flexible dye-sensitized solar cell.
