Simultaneous Optimization of Nanocrystalline SnO2 Thin Film Deposition Using Multiple Linear Regressions

Abstract: A nanocrystalline SnO2 thin film was synthesized by a chemical bath method. The parameters affecting the energy band gap and surface morphology of the deposited SnO2 thin film were optimized using a semi-empirical method. Four parameters, including deposition time, pH, bath temperature and tin chloride (SnCl2·2H2O) concentration were optimized by a factorial method. The factorial used a Taguchi OA (TOA) design method to estimate certain interactions and obtain the actual responses. Statistical evidences in ana… Show more

“…Here, as Sn has two oxidation states, Sn 2+ and Sn 4+ , both ions can be found in the SnCl 2 solution. According to Sn 2+ , the nucleation mechanism of forming SnO 2 could occur as follows [ 153,178–180 ] Sn2++2OHSnOH2 SnOH2SnO +normalH2O SnO SnO2 …”

“…Here, as Sn has two oxidation states, Sn 2+ and Sn 4+ , both ions can be found in the SnCl 2 solution. According to Sn 2+ , the nucleation mechanism of forming SnO 2 could occur as follows [153,[178][179][180] Sn 2OH Sn OH [181,182] for PSC fabrication, with PCE values comparable with c-TiO 2 -based devices. [67] The key to these results was the utilization of a spin-cast SnO 2 compact layer underneath of the CBD layer, which works as a nucleation layer and forms denser films.…”

“…Metal oxide semiconductors with wide band gaps have many important applications in the optics, electric and electronic industries. Transparent SnO 2 thin films have been widely used in the production of transparent electrodes, far-infrared detectors, solar cells and gas sensors [1]. SnO 2 films are inexpensive, chemically stable in acidic and basic solutions, thermally stable in oxidizing environments at high temperatures and also mechanically strong [2].Metal composite oxides MxSnyOz (M=Ni, Ca, Fe, Sb, Cu, Mg, Zn, etc) were also proposed to improve cycling stabililty of SnO 2 [3][4][5][6] , A variety of methods, such as magnetron sputtering [7], vacuum evaporation [8], sol-gel [9], chemical vapor deposition [10], and sonochemistry [11] have been employed to prepare SnO 2 thin films.…”
