The Influence of Deposition Time and Substrate Temperature during the Spray Pyrolysis Process on the Electrical Resistivity and Optical Transmittance of 2 wt% Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide Conducting Glass

Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) glasses play an important role in various technology, including dye sensitized solar cells. One of the most commonly used glass is indium tin oxide (ITO) glass, which is expensive. Therefore, the main purpose of this research was to determine if ITO glass can be replaced with fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass, which is easier and more economic to manufacture. For this purpose, a tin chloride dehydrate (SnCl_2.2H₂O) precursor was doped with ammonium fluoride (NH₄F) using a sol-gel method and spray pyrolysis technique to investigate the fabrication process for conductive glass.  See more See less
