ZnO doped with 2~6 mol% Silver (Ag) photocatalyst thin films has been deposited on glass substrate by thermal spray coating with temperature deposition of 250°C. A gel of ZnO:Ag precursor has been synthesized by sol-gel route from aqueous/alcoholic solution of zinc acetate dehydrate and silver nitrate mixture at room temperature. The morphology of ZnO:Ag films were investigated scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 3D SEM images of ZnO:Ag thin films show the rough morphology with roughness mean square (rms) of 150 to 195 nm. The grain size of ZnO:Ag films were found in the range 76,5 to 304,8 nm. The photoactivity examination of ZnO:Ag photocatalyst films show the E. Coli bacteria degraded up to 99.99% under sunlight irradiation for 4 hours.

Dense gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte thin films were prepared on porous NiO-GDC substrates by spray coating process. Microstructure of the GDC thin films and effect of preparation process on the microstructure were examined. SEM results show that uniform and dense GDC thin films with a thickness of approximately 1 μm were successfully prepared on porous NiO-GDC anodes. Anode-supported single cell with the thin GDC electrolyte film was tested using humidified hydrogen as a fuel, and exhibited relatively high electrical performance at low operating temperature (the maximum power density of 135 mW/cm2 at 600 °C). This means that the thin GDC film may be applicable to an electrolyte for anode-supported SOFCs. The experimental results suggest that the spray coating method developed in this study may offer a useful route for preparing thin and dense electrolytes of SOFCs.

Abstract In this study, undoped semiconductor ZnO thin film and Bi-doped ZnO thin films were produced using the sol-gel spin coating method. By changing each parameter of the spin coating method, the best conditions for the formation of the film were determined via the trial and error method. When the appropriate parameter was found, the specified parameter was applied for each film. The structural, superficial, and optical properties of the films produced were characterized via atomic force microscope (AFM), UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and the effects of Bi dopant on these properties were investigated. When the morphological properties of the undoped and Bi-doped ZnO films were examined, it was observed that they had a structure in a micro-fiber shape consisting of nanoparticles. When the surface roughness was examined, it was observed that the surface roughness values became larger as the rate of Bi dopant increased. By examining the optical properties of the films, it was determined that they were direct band transition materials and Bi-doped thin films were involved in the semiconductor range. In addition, optical properties changed positively with Bi dopant. Since Bi-doped ZnO thin film has a wide bandgap and good optical properties, it is a material that can be used in optoelectronic applications.
