Abstract

ZnO thin films are deposited onto indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates by sol‒gel coating at different preparation parameters: sol concentrations and annealing temperatures. The synthesized samples are characterized by ultraviolet—visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The results obtained show that the band gap energy decreases from 3.25 to 3.18 eV with an increase in the sol concentration and a similar decrease at higher annealing temperatures. X-ray diffraction patterns show a smaller full width at half maximum of the most intense (002) peak at higher sol concentrations and annealing temperatures. EDX analysis confirms the formation of high-purity ZnO thin films on ITO glass substrates.
