Abstrakt:

SnO2 conducting thin films were prepared by spray pyrolysis. Glass surface was prepared by etching in HF and acetic acid solutions. Sodium barrier coatings with different compositions were prepared by the sol–gel technique. The influence of the glass surface preparation on optical properties of SnO2 was studied using reflectance spectroscopy. XPS was used as a tool to evaluate barrier properties of the coating. The morphology of the thin layer was studied by a scanning electron microscope. The results have shown that the titanium containing coating has the best sodium diffusion barrier property. The conductivity of SnO2 film strongly depends on the glass surface preparation. The lowest conductivity was measured for clean glass but the highest for alumina containing barrier coating.
