Abstract

This paper describes the preparation and characterization of optically-transparent thin films of fluoride-doped tin oxide (FTO) nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanorods grown using purpose-built, novel and advanced version of spray pyrolysis technique, known as Rotational, Pulsed and Atomized Spray Pyrolysis. Uniform and crack-free FTO1-D nanostructured thin films over 50 × 50 mm² soda lime glass substrate have been routinely achieved. This technique allows a perfect control of morphology of nanostructures of FTO layer simply by adjusting the spray conditions. Formed 1D FTO nanostructures on the glass substrate show an excellent optical transparency in the visible light range. XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electron microscope) data show excellent correlations.
