Hello everyone, I synthesized this thin film using the sol-gel dip coating method without annealing. I would like to ask those who have previously synthesized thin films about their opinion on the quality of this film.
Asmaa Mendoud I looked at your test thin film image, and it is difficult to assess the quality of your thin film. Additional tips for synthesizing high-quality thin films using the sol-gel dip coating method include using high-purity chemicals and solvents, ensuring clean substrate, controlling dipping speed and withdrawal rate, and allowing the film to dry and cure completely before annealing (if desired).
However, I can tell you what criteria to consider when evaluating the quality of your sol-gel dip-coated thin film without annealing. Consider adhesion, transparency, smoothness, thickness, chemical composition, crystallinity, optical features, electrical properties, chemical stability, and form when evaluating the quality of a sol-gel dip-coated thin film.
