  3. Introduction

  4. The effects of SO42− ion concentrations on the phase evolution of electrochemical deposited films have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). • The results show that SO42− ion concentration plays a very important role in directing the phase evolution of thick films from rod-like ZnO to plate-like zinc hydroxysulfate under fast hydroxylation. • When ZnSO4 concentrations are below 0.54mM,the oriented growth of ZnO rods tends to be enhanced with the increase of ZnSO4 concentration. • Otherwise, the vertically aligned zinc hydroxysulfate plates can be formed by the introduction of SO42− ions in nanocrystals.

  5. Experimental Procedures

  6. 電解液為27mM KNO3、3mM (CH2)6N4和濃度0.3mM~3mM ZnSO4的混合水溶液 將FTO導電玻璃(2mm×1mm，片電阻15Ω/cm2)置入電鍍液中，並使用三電極系統進行定電壓(-0.85V/SCE)電化學沉積5小時 沉積過程中電解意溫度維持在80°C下，並使用稀釋硫酸溶液調整pH值，維持在3.0-4.0的範圍 使用SEM、EDX、XED和FTIR做分析 另外也討論電解液為27mM KNO3、3mM (CH2)6N4和濃度0.3mMZnSO4的混合水溶液再加入濃度3mM~24mM K2SO4，觀察硫酸鹽對ZnO薄膜成長的影響

  16. Conclusion

  17. In present work, we demonstrate that SO42− ion concentration plays a very important role in controlling the phase evolution of films from ZnO rods to zinc hydroxysulfate plates under fast hydroxylation using electrochemical deposition. • At lower ZnSO4 concentrations, vertically aligned ZnO rods tend to dominate the film morphology. • On the contrary, SO42− ions can participate in the film growth under fast hydroxylation, thus leading to the formation of vertical aligned zinc hydroxysulfate plates. • Most importantly, this work facilitates not only the researches about the nature of chemical reactions under electric field, but also the applications in optoelectronics, field effect transistor and solar cells.
