Enhancement the Transparent Conductive NiO Thin Films by F, Cu and Al Co-doping

This thesis aimed to elaborate and characterize Nickel Oxide (NiO) thin films through the spray pyrolysis technique, employing a 450ʻC heated glass substrate. To investigate and optimize the conditions for spray deposition, we examined the impact of preparative parameters such as the volume of the sprayed solution on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of undoped NiO thin film.
Moreover, to augment certain attributes of NiO materials, incorporating dopants is an effective method for altering various physical properties such as transparency and conductivity. In this research, thin films of nickel oxide doped with copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and fluorine (F) were prepared, we also prepared thin films of nickel oxide co-doped slices using the former elements with different concentrations, using the spray pyrolysis technique.
In the last part, the results obtained were presented and discussed by studying the physical properties of NiO's prepared thin films. These films were analyzed by DRX, UV-Visible, 4-point method.
