Aerosol‐assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) was used to deposit highly transparent and conductive titanium or fluorine‐doped and titanium‐fluorine co‐doped ZnO thin films on glass substrate at 450 oC. All films were characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), UV‐Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM), and four‐point probe. The films were 600‐680 nm thick, crystalline, and highly transparent (80‐87%). The co‐doped film consisted of 0.70 at.% titanium and 1 at.% fluorine, and displayed a charger carrier mobility, charge carrier concentration, and a minimum resistivity of 8.4 cm2 V‐1 s‐1, 3.97 x 1020 cm‐3, and 1.69 x 10‐3 Ω cm, respectively. A band gap of 3.6 eV was observed for the co‐doped film. Compared to the undoped and singly doped films, the co‐doped film displayed a notably higher structure morphology (more homogenous grains with well‐defined boundaries) suitable for transparent conducting oxide applications.

ZnO:F thin films were produced by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. For photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications, the properties of ZnO films have been tried to be improved by adding the flourine (F) element. The average optical transmittance was higher than 85%. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra depict blue, green and yellow emission in deposited films. Photocatalytic activity of ZnO and ZnO:F thin films was evaluated with methylene blue (MB) organic pollutant under UV irradiation. 5% doped ZnO:F film successfully decomposed ~ 80% using MB as photocatalyst. The lowest resistivity (3.54 × 10–3 Ωcm), high carrier concentration (2.52 × 1020 cm−3) and high hall mobility (8.28 cm2V−1 s−1) were observed in ZnO:F (5%) film. With this study, it was concluded that F-doped ZnO films were effective in the degradation of MB, which is widely used in the food and pollutant industries. Therefore, it makes ZnO:F films a promising material in both optoelectronic and photocatalytic applications due to their optimum properties.
