Abstract
SnO2 nanocrystalline thin films (NCTFs) with high quality and low infrared emissivity were synthesized through a simple hydrothermal process designed by orthogonal design theory. The microstructure, morphology, photoluminescence (PL) property and the infrared emissivity (IRE) property of as-prepared products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fluorescence spectrophotometer, and infrared spectroradio meter (ISM) respectively. The results show that two emission peaks are observed in PL spectra, which can be deconvoluted by Gaussian profile fitting into four emission peaks centered at about 380, 420, 460 and 520 nm respectively. The influences of crystallinity, concentration of particles and resistivity on IRE were systematically investigated, revealing that the better crystallinity, higher particle density and better conductivity are favorable for lowering IRE.
