Microstructure of gadolinium doped ceria oxide thin films formed by electron beam deposition

Fabrication and characterization of NiO thin films prepared by SILAR method

“…NiO thin films can be fabricated by different physical and chemical vapor deposition methods, such as sputtering [2,13], reactive-pulsed laser deposition [14], electron beam evaporation [15,16], spray pyrolysis [17], electrochemical deposition [18], sol-gel [19], dip coating, spin coating, electro deposition [20]. In this paper, NiO thin films have been deposited on glass substrates using SILAR method for the first time.…”

Advanced Sintering Techniques in Design of Planar IT SOFC and Supported Oxygen Separation Membranes

“…Electron beams as PVD modification were used for deposition of alumina or composite cermets functional layers of carbides/nitrides (Singh & Wolfe, 2005). Only a few works mention e-beam as a promising approach to deposit thin and dense YSZ or GDC electrolyte layer on electrode (mainly NiO/YSZ anode ) (Laukaitis et al, 2007;Lemkey et al, 2005). Deposition through the vapor (PVD or CVD) ensures thin uniform layers but, unfortunately, this approach requires high vacuum that increases costs and reduces commercial usage.…”

Chemically deposited nickel oxide as counter electrode for dye sensitized solar cell

“…NiO thin films can be fabricated by different chemical and physical methods such as chemical bath deposition [21], pulsed laser deposition [22,23], sputtering [24], evaporation [25], spray pyrolysis [26], electrochemical deposition [27], sol-gel [28,29], spin coating, atomic layer deposition [30] and oxidation of metallic Ni [31] Physical deposition of the NiO thin films etc. can be achieved [32].…”
