Preparation and characterization of nanostructured ZnO thin film by electrophoretic deposition from ZnO colloidal suspensions

EPD-deposited ZnO thin films: a review

“…This observation was confirmed by Balaji et al [70], who reported a sharp decrease of the current density for deposition times higher than 50 seconds. In addition, Miao et al [71] studied the influence of other parameters, such as aging treatment of ZnO nanocrystallites and suspension concentration on the deposit weight. When the applied voltage and deposition time were kept constant, the deposit weight increased almost linearly with an increase in suspension concentration, but decreased for aging times above 3 days-due to agglomeration.…”

Urea impedimetric biosensor based on reactive RF magnetron sputtered zinc oxide nanoporous transducer

“…Nanostructured metal oxides such as zinc oxide (ZnO) have been recently used for fabrication of transducer surface of biosensors because of their unique ability to promote electron transfer between electrode and active site of desired enzyme. Nanostructured ZnO can be prepared using sol-gel [38], electrophoresis [39], RF sputtering [40], hydrothermal [41], and molecular beam epitaxy [42] techniques.…”

Uniform design for the optimization of Al2O3 nanofilms produced by electrophoretic deposition

“…As summarized in Table 1, several papers have been published on this topic providing a variety of results [1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. For example, Tang et al [6,7] stated that the pH value, ionic conductivity and viscosity are key factors of the EPD process.…”

“…The particle distribution became less uniform as particle concentration and current density increased. Miao et al [13] used nanofluids and the EPD process to prepare a nanostructured ZnO thin film and studied the influences of parameters on the deposited mass, morphology and microstructure. The deposited mass increased almost linearly with an increase in suspension concentration and deposition time, which is contrary to the findings of Tian [12].…”
