Net-Patterned Fluorine-Doped Tin Oxide to Accelerate the Electrochromic and Photocatalytic Interface Reactions

In this study, the surface morphology of net-patterned fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) films was optimized with mesh sizes (60 mesh, 40 and 24 mesh) using one-pot horizontal ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition (HUSPD) process. The 40M-FTO sample exhibited electrical optical properties due to improved crystallinity FTO. electrochromic (EC) electrodes fabricated showed superior EC performance, including transmittance modulation (ΔT, 58.7%), switching speeds (4.1 s for coloration 5.9 bleaching), efficiency (CE, 52.4 cm2/C). These optimum values were attributed combined effect enhanced from SnO2 high a large area stemming optimization FTO morphology. Moreover, reaction sites conductivity can facilitate photocatalytic reaction. Accordingly, we suggest our novel strategy use in creating promising transparent conducting that be realize interface reactions.
