Ga-doped ZnO(GZO) transparent thin films were grown onto glass substrates by sol-gel based spin coating process. After each coating, the as-deposited film was thermally baked at different moderate temperatures ranging from 100°C to 250°C followed by calcinations at certain temperature lower than 400°C. Characterization were conducted on calcined samples using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The influence of baking temperature on crucial properties including structural, morphological and optical properties of Ga-doped ZnO transparent thin films were extensively investigated. XRD patterns exhibited typical polycrystalline of hexagonal wurtzite structure of as-deposited thin films and baking temperature is considered as one of essential key parameters affecting the crucial properties of the prepared films.

Transparent light-guided plates for solar cell application from nano-titanium dioxide (TiO<inf>2</inf>), rhodamine 6G (R6G) and poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) composite films were prepared by spin coating technique on glass substrates. Effects of the annealing temperatures and times on the formation of the TiO<inf>2</inf> crystalline film that acted as an initial model for the light-scattered layer in solar concentrators were investigated. Physical and morphological properties of the TiO<inf>2</inf> film were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). After the annealing process, TiO<inf>2</inf> films obviously formed in the anatase phase with the enlarged crystallite size and the high rough surface by the increase of the annealing temperature and the treating time. Meanwhile, the optical properties of the TiO<inf>2</inf> thin films were analyzed via a UV–Vis spectrophotometer. The transparency of the film was significantly affected by the annealing temperature and the aging time. Moreover, the light scattering performance of the TiO<inf>2</inf> layer cooperated with Rhodamine6G in the PMMA matrix as the preliminary model of light-guide plate was investigated by fluorescence spectra. Strong light emission from the light-guide plate could be significantly enhanced by the existence of the TiO<inf>2</inf> crystalline layer acting as the scattering film. Optimized performance of the planar light-guide plate incorporated with Rhodamine6G dye and the light-scattered TiO<inf>2</inf> layer was obtained from the film annealed at 500 °C for 5 h.

Photostability testing for coumarin-153 doped ZnO thin films prepared with spin-coating technique

The main aim behind the present study is solar cells of increased efficiency and low cost per unit of power generation, specifically dye-sensitized cells. Their first component is semiconducting ZnO commonly used to build photovoltaics, which absorbs sunlight in the ultraviolet region. The second component, the dye coumarin-153 that absorbs in a lower-energy spectral region, enhances the light harvesting. We study the optical absorbance and fluorescence for the combination of coumarin-153 with ZnO nanoparticles, which are prepared in sol-gel films formed using a simple spin-coating technique for creating a stable photovoltaic.
