Fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. Four different candidate insulating intermediate layers of TiO2, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2 were selected and coated on AISI 304 SS using USP and investigated in order to overcome dielectric breakdown of FTO layer due to conductive nature of stainless steel substrate under the applied voltage. After the optimization of the process parameters for the depositions, only TiO2 layer was successfully deposited while other oxides did not form continuous films on AISI-304 SS surface despite the efforts. SEM analysis, supported by back-scatter imaging, revealed thickness values of the layers for FTO and TiO2, individually. Heating performances of the samples with varying sheet resistance values were examined under different applied voltages. Heating experiments showed that 300 C can be reached with 10 V of applied voltage without occurrence of an electrical breakdown of FTO coating having 160 nm thickness with TiO2 intermediate layer of 660 nm. 28.6% efficiency for the conversion of electrical energy into heat was calculated for FTO coating while bare stainless steel showed only 7.3% efficiency. Later, the heating experiments were repetitively conducted and the samples were tested under high relative humid environment to determine their resistance against moist conditions.

Conducting FTO coatings produced using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis for heating applications Süer, Başar; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018) In this thesis, fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel (SS) substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. Four different candidate insulating intermediate layers of TiO2, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2 were selected and coated on AISI 304 using USP and investigated in order to overcome dielectric breakdown of FTO layer due to conductive nature of stainless steel substrate under the applied voltage.

Comparative study on deposition of fluorine-doped tin dioxide thin films by conventional and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis methods for dye-sensitized solar modules Icli, Kerem Cagatay; Kocaoglu, Bahadir Can; Özenbaş, Ahmet Macit (2018-01-01) Fluorine-doped tin dioxide (FTO) thin films were produced via conventional spray pyrolysis and ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) methods using alcohol-based solutions. The prepared films were compared in terms of crystal structure, morphology, surface roughness, visible light transmittance, and electronic properties. Upon investigation of the grain structures and morphologies, the films prepared using ultrasonic spray method provided relatively larger grains and due to this condition, carrier mobilities of t...
Structural and optoelectronic properties of vanadium pentoxide thin films deposited by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Koç, Şeyma; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) Nanocrystalline vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films were deposited onto fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrates using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and spin coating methods. The formation behavior of thin films, the effects of different production methods on the characteristics of the films and their microstructural / physical properties were investigated as a function of annealing temperature in the range of 450-550 °C and other controllable process parameters. Structural, morphological and op...

Thermal degradation of poly(propylene oxide) and polyepichlorohydrin by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry Uyar, T; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2002-09-01) The thermal degradation of poly(propylene oxide), (PPO) and polyepichlorohydrin, (PECH) were studied with the use of direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The effects of heating rate and dissociative ionization on fragmentation pattern have also been investigated. It has been determined that PPO degrades via a random cleavage mechanism, the labile C-O bond scissions being preferred, An analogous degradation mechanism can be proposed for PECH. Yet, the elimination of side chains, evolution of HCl and the loss ...
