Multifunctional ZnO-Based thin Films by SOL-GEL Method

Abstract

The paper presents the crystalline structure, morphology, optical transmittance, electrical properties and room temperature photoreduction-ozone oxidation properties of some Al-doped ZnO thin films prepared by sol-gel method. The investigated films are high transparent (85-95% within the visible and near IR wavelength region), high conductive (2.9 10-3 Ω cm) and have a reversible photoreduction-oxidation response.
