The Growth Mechanism of Nickel Oxide Thin Films by Room-Temperature Chemical Bath Deposition

Abstract: Chemical bath deposition ͑CBD͒ is an advantageous thin film deposition technique for depositing compound semiconductors at low temperature. In this paper, nickel oxide thin films were prepared by CBD from an aqueous solution composed of nickel sulfate, potassium persulfate, and ammonia at room temperature. Thin film growth mechanisms were studied by using quartz crystal microbalance, UV-vis absorption, and photon correlation spectroscopy. The data indicate that film growth is strongly dependent upon mixing con… Show more

“…Han et al [267] synthesized NiO thin films and growth mechanism based on the combination of particle sticking and molecule level heterogeneous growth is proposed. The as-deposited film contained a-Ni(OH) 2 and 4Ni(OH) 2 $NiOOH$xH 2 O and was converted to NiO by thermal annealing.…”

“…[14]. NiO on the other hand is a transition metal oxide that has several potential applications, such as solar thermal absorber, electrodes for battery and photoelectron-catalysts [15]. NiO thin films are promising materials with excellent electrochromic properties.…”

“…NiO can be used as a counter electrode to WO 3 electrode in smart window, where the optical modulation increases due to the simultaneous modulation of both electrodes [7,8]. A variety of methods have been used to prepare the electrochromic NiO thin films, such as sputtering [9], chemical vapor deposition [10], electro-deposition process [11], pulsed laser deposition [12], spray pyrolysis [13], sol-gel process [14] and chemical bath deposition (CBD) [15], etc. Among these methods, the chemical bath deposition and sol-gel processes have many advantages of low cost, low temperature and easy to be largearea prepared.…”
