Tailoring the surface topology, wettability, and optical bandgap of metal oxide films by means of tuning their compositions and technological conditions in spray pyrolysis

Abstract

Oxide thin films with large band gaps offer a wealth of potential applications across various technological fields in energy, electronics, optoelectronics, and environmental technologies, due to their combination of unique optical and electronic properties. Microfluidics is another application filed of metal oxide films, when their wettability can be controlled.
