This deposition method consisted in the preparation of the ZnO precursor solution, in which 0.2 M of zinc acetate dihydrate (≥98%, Alfa Aesar) [Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O] was diluted in 50 mL ethanol (99.7%, Fermont) [C2H5OH] and kept under magnetic stirring for 1 h at room temperature. During deposition the substrate temperature was kept at 260 °C ± 3 °C for 10 min. The pressure and carrier gas flow (N2) were maintained at 276 kPa and 0.09 L/min, respectively [36 (link)]. Finally, the samples were subjected to heat treatment (ARSA, AR-340) at 400 °C for 30 min.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
