Aqueous solution reaction during liquid-phase deposition and its application in electrochemical materials

Abstract

The study systematically attempts to synthesize a number of metal oxides using a liquid-phase deposition method and hydrolysis reaction of metal fluoride complexes. Instead of the conventional empirical optimization, the in-solution equilibrium is precisely analyzed and desired oxides possessing nano-order structures and thin-film geometries are synthesized. By synthesizing oxides with ordered structures and large specific surface areas, materials with a high affinity for electrochemical reactions is developed, which contributes to the development of the science of such reactions.
