Thin films produced by deposition of metal oxides on different surfaces show semi-conductor properties that are sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere components. With their optical, electrical, and structural properties, CdO metal oxides are used in a variety of fields ranging from optoelectronic materials to gas sensors. CdO thin films can be produced by different methods such as spray pyrolysis, SILAR, sol-gel spin coating and dip coating technique. The sol-gel dip coating technique, which is simple, accessible, adjustable, and repeatable based on desired parameters, is widely used in the production of CdO thin films. In this study, CdO metal oxide thin films were coated on polyamide, acrylic and cotton yarns by sol-gel dipping method in three different molarities of 0.1 M, 0.3 M and 0.5 M starting solutions. Structural properties of CdO thin film coated yarn samples were investigated using SEM and EDX analyzes were performed. The sensor tests of the yarn samples for LPG gas were carried out in the specially designed gas sensor measurement system and in the gas chamber. The 0.5 M CdO thin film coated cotton yarn samples showed better semiconductor properties and gas response than the other samples.
Bu çalışma kapsamında öncelikle katkısız TiO2 filmler daldırarak kaplama yöntemi ile üretildi. Optimum katkılı ve katkısız ince film biriktirme parametreleri yapılan ön denemeler ve daha önceki çalışmalar derlenerek; daldırma tekrar sayısı 8 kat, daldırma süresi 90sn, süreç arası kuruma sıcaklığı 110 °C, süresi 150 sn, tavlama sıcaklığı 500 °C ve süresi 2 saat olarak belirlendi. Daha sonra farklı fiziksel özelliklere sahip Al ve Cu metalleri ile katkılanarak, katkılamanın TiO2 ince filmlerin yüzeysel, yapısal ve optik özellikler üzerine etkileri incelendi. Katkılama oranları değiştirilerek (%1, %3, %5) katkılama ile TiO2 ince filmlerin fiziksel özelliklerindeki değişimler belirlendi. SEM görüntülüleri incelendiğinde; cam altlıklar yüzeylerine TiO2 ince filmler homojen olarak biriktirildiği ve Al katkılamanın TiO2 film katmanlarındaki tanecik boyutunu küçülttüğü, Cu katkılamanın ise tanecik boyutunu büyüttüğü tespit edildi. XRD analiz spektrumu verileri ile hesaplamalar sonucunda tanecik boyutundaki değişimlerin SEM görüntülerine uyumlu olduğu görüldü. Katkısız TiO2 ince filmler için Anataz fazında TiO2'nin bilinen net tepe noktaları, Al ve Cu katkısından kaynaklanan pikler XRD spektrumunda tespit edilerek ince film biriktirme işlemlerinin başarıyla yapıldığı belirlendi. Optik özellikler incelendiğinde yasak enerji aralığı TiO2 ince film için 3,21eV olarak hesaplandı. Al katkılama ile TiO2 ince filmlerin yasak enerji aralığının arttığı ve Cu katkılama ile yasak enerji aralığının azaldığı tespit edildi.
In this study, ZnO thin films were developed by using Sol-Gel Spin Coating method which is simpler than other methods and by using low cost Sol-Gel Magnetic Spin Coating method which will be used for the first time in literature. Some physical properties of ZnO thin films produced by doping 1%, 3% and 5% Al were examined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Device, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. When structural properties were examined, it was seen that preferential orientation changed and crystallite size values increased as Al doping amount increased. When the surface properties were examined, it was seen that a homogeneous coating was formed on the litter with the technique used. In addition, FESEM images prove that crystallite size values increase as the amount of doping increases. It was determined that the band gap values of thin films whose optical properties were examined decreased as the amount of doping increased. As it can be understood from these results, this thin film production technique, which is used for the first time in the literature, is able to produce doped thin films more easily and economically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
