研究目的
Investigating the influence of different boron complexes on the physical properties of solution processed boron doped ZnO thin films.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that a new type of salen-phenyl boron complex (L2BPh2) significantly affects the physical properties of ZnO thin films, including the formation of nanorods and changes in optical and electrical properties. The findings suggest potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific boron complexes used and the sol-gel method's inherent constraints. Potential areas for optimization include exploring other doping materials and methods.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study used a sol-gel method for preparing doped and undoped ZnO thin film samples on glass substrates. The method was chosen for its ease of controlling starting chemicals and molar ratios.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Glass substrates were used for the thin film samples. The doping was done using a new type of salen-phenyl boron complex (L2BPh2) and commercially available trimethyl borate for comparison.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Zinc acetate dihydrate, 2-methoxyethanol, ethanolamine, salen-phenyl boron complex (L2BPh2), trimethyl borate, glass substrates, dip coater, UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, Hall Effect measurement system.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The thin film samples were prepared by dissolving zinc acetate dihydrate in 2-methoxyethanol, adding ethanolamine, and then adding the boron complex. The films were coated on glass substrates using a dip coater and annealed under argon environment.
5:Data Analysis Methods
XRD analysis for crystal structure, SEM for surface morphology, UV-Vis for optical transmittance, Hall Effect for electrical properties.
