Growth of CuO NPs layers on TiO2 NTs using vacuum thermal evaporation
CuO/TiO2 composites have been reported to exhibit higher potential for various applications (electronics, energy storage, and sensor technology…). This study investigates the impact of different film thicknesses on the properties of CuO NPs on TiO2 NTs. CuO NPs were deposited onto TiO2 NTs using vacuum thermal evaporation, with thicknesses ranging from 5 to 30 nm. A quartz crystal monitor measured evaporation rate and film thickness at a substrate temperature of 350 °C. Following the deposition process, the samples were thermally treated through air annealing at 400 °C for 1 h.
XRD analysis showed that all films had an anatase phase. The annealed sample also had a confirmed CuO phase, indicating good crystallinity. Crystallite size and strain varied with film thickness, assessed using the Williamson-Hall method and Rietveld refinement. The deposition and distribution of CuO on TiO2 NTs were verified using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Optimizing the materials nanostructures requires controlling film thickness and annealing. Insights from this study can improve nanomaterial fabrication techniques, which could enhance their performance in technological applications.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
