Resumo
As alterações climáticas, em grande parte, proveniente da emissão de CO2 derivado da queima de combustíveis fósseis para produção de energia, têm incentivado a pesquisa e o desenvolvimento de novas fontes alternativas de energia menos pulentes e que produzam pouco impacto ambiental. Uma das alternativas energéticas mais promissoras é a energia gerada pelo sol, principalmente em países onde há um alto índice de incidência de radiação solar. O óxido de zinco (ZnO) apresenta transmitância óptica na região do visível acima de 80% e baixa resistividade elétrica. Este material tem sido estudado como candidato para substituir o In2O3:Sn (ITO) em aplicações como eletrodos de células solares, pois além de ser economicamente viável, é atóxico e possui alta estabilidade química. Neste trabalho filmes finos de ZnO puro foram depositados pelas técnicas de spin, dip-coating e evaporação por feixe de elétrons (EBE). As resinas precursoras de ZnO foram sintetizadas pelo método dos precursores poliméricos utilizando diferentes precursores de Zn (acetato, óxido ou nitrato de zinco), com a finalidade de investigar as propriedades estruturais e ópticas dos filmes finos de ZnO preparado por diferentes técnicas e diferentes precursores. Os filmes foram caracterizados por difração de raios-X (DRX), medidas de espectro na região do UV-vi e microscopia de força atômica (AFM). Todas as amostras obtidas através das diferentes técnicas de deposição apresentaram alto grau de transmitância óptica (80%) e o mesmo valor de energia de gap (3,28 e V). Também foram obtidas amostras na forma de pó, sintetizado com os três diferentes precursores, visando um estudo aprofundado da influência do precursor utilizado nas propriedades do material. As amostras foram caracterizadas por difração de raios X, análises...
Climate changes are mainly due to the increasing CO2 atmospheric concentration caused by the burning of fossils fuels. In this context, researh and development of alternative sources of renewable energy have been encouraged for energy production. One of most promising alternative for energy production is Solar Energy, especially in countries with high incidence of solar radiation. Zinc oxide thin films usually have high transmittance in the visible range and low resistivity. This material has been studied as a candidate to replace In2O3:Sn(ITO) in applications such as electrodes in solar cells due of the righ cost of indium and its limited availability. Furthermore ZnO is chemically stable and non-toxic. In this work undoped zinc oxide thin films were deposited by the techniques of spin-coating, dip-coating and Electron beam evaporation (EBE). Resins of ZnO were synthesized by the polymeric precursor method using different zinc precursors (zinc acetate, oxide or nitrate) in order to study the structural and optical properties of thin films prepared by different techniques and using different precursors. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction measurements (XRD), UV-vis spectra, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). All samples prepared by different deposition techiniques present transmition larger than 80% in the visble range and band gap of 3,28 eV. Also were obtained powder or ZnO synthesized using three different precursor in order to study the influence of precursor utilized in properties of material. The powder were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Through these characterization techniques it was showed that the polymeric precursor... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
