Uniform thin films of vanadium pentoxide were dip-coated from a high-concentration vanadium oxytriisopropoxide precursor which is shown to be resistant to the dewetting processes which can form surface pinhole defects. Through appropriate withdrawal speed choice, the thin films have a smooth uniform surface morphology with a low rms roughness of <1 nm in both their amorphous and crystallized states. The structure of the thin films follows that of bulk vanadium pentoxide but in a nanostructured form. The deposition methods shown can be applied to prepare thin films upon a variety of different substrates and other alkoxide based metal oxide materials.
This thesis presents several routes towards achieving artificial opal templates by colloidal self-assembly of polystyrene (PS) or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres and the use of these template for the fabrication ...
We report on the electrodeposition of 3D macroporous vanadium oxide inverse opals and binary inverse opals on transparent conducting oxide substrates and stainless steel and thermally oxidized stainless steel substrates. ...
