In2O3-Based Thin Films Deposited by Spray Pyrolysis as Promising Thermoelectric Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

Structural, electrophysical and thermoelectric properties of nanoscaled In2O3 films doped by Sn and Zn were studied. Thin films based on In2O3-SnO2 and In2O3-SnO2-ZnO systems were prepared by spray pyrolysis method from water solutions of metal chlorides. It was confirmed that In2O3-based films, especially the In2O3:Sn ones, are promising material for applications related to thermoelectricity. The power factor of obtained films was found to be on the level of the best samples prepared on the base of ITO system.
