Abstract

Tin dioxide (SnO₂) nanofilms were obtained by
coating the sols produced by the sol-gel method on stainless steel substrates
with a spin coating device. Tartaric acid which acts as a gelation agent were
used as a stabilizer in the production of sols. In addition to the nanofilms
produced with and without stabilizer addition, SnO₂ film coatings
were also performed with an aging process involving tartaric acid to
demonstrate the effect of aging on grain size. The morphology, structure,
crystal and grain size of SnO₂ nanofilms were investigated and the
effect of tartaric acid stabilizer on grain size and morphology was
investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy
(AFM) for the characterization of surface properties of nanofilms, and also
X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis for the examination of the crystal structure
and the calculation of the crystal size were performed.

Kalay dioksit nano ince filmlerin üretimi ve morfolojik karakterizasyonu

Abstract

Kalay dioksit (SnO₂)
nanofilmler sol-jel yöntemi ile üretilen sollerin döndürerek kaplama cihazı ile
paslanmaz çelik altlıklara kaplanmasıyla elde edildi. Sol çözeltileri
üretilirken jelleştirici görevi gören tartarik asit stabilizör olarak
kullanıldı. Stabilizör katkılı ve katkısız sol ile üretilen nanofilmlerin yanı
sıra yaşlandırmanın tane boyutuna etkisini göstermek amacıyla tartarik asit
içeren solün yaşlandırılması ile de SnO₂ film kaplamaları yapıldı.
SnO₂ filmlerinin morfolojileri, yapısı, kristal ve tane boyutu
incelenerek tartarik asit stabilizörünün tane büyüklüğü ve morfoloji üzerine
etkisi araştırıldı. Nanofilmlerin yüzey özelliklerinin karakterizasyonu için
taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ve atomik kuvvet mikroskobu (AFM); kristal
yapının incelenmesi ve kristal boyutunun hesaplanması için X-ışını kırınımı
(XRD) analizi yapıldı.
