Abstract: | Cubic antimonic acid (Sb2O5·nH2O) films were successfully prepared on stainless steel and Si(100) substrates by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) using two types of sols. The sols were prepared by reacting an H2O2 aqueous solution with Sb(O-i-C3H7)3 or metallic Sb powder. The resulting films were found to consist of fine particles of cubic Sb2O5·nH2O single crystals with uniform particle sizes of 30 nm and 150 nm. The weight of the Sb2O5·nH2O deposit on the anode Si(100) substrate by EPD increased linearly with the current density in the range of 0–0.67 mA cm–2, when the sol pH was over 7. The proton conductivity of the polycrystalline Sb2O5·nH2O discs, formed from the two types of sols, was evaluated by an ac impedance method at room temperature under controlled levels of relative humidity. |
