Description
Thin film technology plays a crucial role in modern scientific and industrial applications, such as solar cells, sensors, optoelectronic devices, and environmental remediation systems. Among the various deposition techniques, spray pyrolysis has emerged as a cost-effective, simple, and scalable method for producing high-quality thin films with controlled morphology and composition.
This study focuses on synthesizing thin films using the spray pyrolysis technique and investigating their structural, morphological, and functional properties. The precursor solution was atomized and sprayed onto a heated substrate, where thermal decomposition led to the formation of a uniform thin film layer. Key parameters such as substrate temperature, solution concentration, spray rate, and nozzle-to-substrate distance were optimized to achieve desired film characteristics.
The deposited films were characterized using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) for structural analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface morphology, and UV–Visible spectroscopy for optical properties. The results indicate that the films exhibit good crystallinity, uniform grain distribution, and tunable optical band gaps, making them suitable for various technological applications.
The study demonstrates that spray pyrolysis is an efficient and versatile method for fabricating thin films with desirable properties. The findings contribute to the advancement of low-cost fabrication techniques and open new opportunities for the development of high-performance materials in energy and environmental applications.
