Development of Molybdenum Trioxide (MoO3) by Spin Coating Method for Photovoltaic Application

Molybdenum trioxide (MOO3), thin films have been deposited on glass substrates by spin-coating method using ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ((NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O) as a single source precursor of Mo and O. They were subjected to atmospheric heat treatment at different temperatures (200, 400 and 500...

Description
Summary:Molybdenum trioxide (MOO3), thin films have been deposited on glass substrates by spin-coating method using ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ((NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O) as a single source precursor of Mo and O. They were subjected to atmospheric heat treatment at different temperatures (200, 400 and 500 ℃). MoQ thin films obtained were characterized using X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersed spectroscopy (EDS) and integrating sphere. The XRD patterns of annealed films show the formation of MoO3 in a polycrystalline phase, formation of MoO3 was also confirmed by EDS. The SEM photographs show that the thin films obtained are in layer-type structure and their grains size increases with increasing of annealing temperatures. The measurement results of integrating sphere show that the MoO3 thin film prepared at 500 ~C transmit about 72% and reflect about 12% of the visible spectrum.
