Electrohydrodynamic processing is capable of synthesizing various materials in the form of porous/dense thin films, nanofibers, nanorods, nanobelts, and ribbons, which is highly favorable for functional oxides. The tailored microstructures and properties derived from electrohydrodynamic forming also give rise to new research interests on some classical oxides, such as transparent conducting oxides (TCOs). Here a case of feasible electrospray synthesis of classical ZnO is demonstrated with tailored p-type conductivity. Another p-type TCO, CuAlO2, was prepared by both electrospray and electrospinning methods and the processing-derived electrical and optical properties are demonstrated. The last part of the paper discusses some emerging applications especially for CuAlO2as potential nanobuilding blocks enabled by electrohydrodynamic processing.

ABSTRACTWe have developed the deposition, characterization and analysis tools necessary for a combinatorial approach to thin film metal oxides, with a special focus on transparent conducting oxides (TCOs). We are presently depositing compositionally graded libraries using mutli-target sputtering and CVD. The initial collection of characterization tools includes UV/VIS/NIR transmission/reflection, FTIR reflectance, Raman scattering, 4-point conductivity, thickness, xray diffraction and electron microprobe. In addition to allowing for a more complete empirical optimization of TCO properties, we expect to develop an improved basic understanding of TCOs, especially in the area of p-type TCOs. This paper provides an overview of our current combinatorial material science program as applied specifically to TCOs.

ABSTRACTTransparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are becoming a more critical element in thin-film photovoltaic devices. In the continued drive to increase efficiency and stability while reducing cost and optimizing performance, the optical, electrical, and materials properties of TCOs gain increasing importance. TCOs can perform a variety of important functions, including contacts, antireflection coatings, and chemical barriers. In this paper, we will review some of the current advances in the field of transparent conductors and, where possible, will relate these advances to thin-film photovoltaic devices. Highlights will be on the rapidly growing collection of new n- and p-type materials; the implications of these materials on PV have not been fully assessed.
