The effect of polyethyleneimine (PEI) in precursor solution on the morphology and superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films grown on LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates by metal-organic deposition (MOD) method was investigated. The morphologies of the YBCO films were different based on the different amount of PEI addition from 0.25 g to 0.9 g in 10 mL precursor solution. Furthermore, research results indicate that the PEI helps to improve the critical current density (Jc), the uniformity of surface morphology and c-axis orientation of thin film. The highest critical current density (Jc) of 2.17 MA/cm2 at 77 K is obtained in YBCO films fabricated on LAO substrates when the amount of PEI is 0.5 g in 10 mL precursor solution. YBCO layers with about 400 nm in thickness can be processed without cracks and holes during the whole heat treatment, which takes only 7.5 h.

Sol-gel processing of La2Zr2O7 (LZO) buffer layers on biaxially textured Ni-3 at.% W alloy substrates using a continuous reel-to-reel dip-coating unit has been studied. The epitaxial LZO films obtained have a strong cube texture and uniform microstructure. The effect of increasing the annealing speed on the texture, microstructure and the carbon content retained in the film were studied. On top of the LZO films, epitaxial layers of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) and Ceria (CeO2) were deposited using rf sputtering, and YBa2Cu3Ox (YBCO) films were then deposited using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). A critical current density (Jc) of 1.9 MA/cm2 at 77K and self-field and 0.34 MA/cm2 at 77K and 0.5T have been obtained on these films. These values are comparable to those obtained on YBCO films deposited on all-vacuum deposited buffer layers, and are the highest ever obtained using solution seed layers. The use of all-solution buffers for coated conductor processing has also been explored. A critical current density of 1.1 MA/cm2 at 77 K and self-field was obtained on YBCO films grown be PLD on LZO buffered nickel substrates.
