Abstract

Intensive research has been conducted on ZnO thin and thick films in recent years. Such layers, used in different electronic devices, are deposited utilizing various methods, but electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been chosen because of the advantages like low energy consumption, economical superiority, ecofriendliness, controllability, and high deposition rate. Here, we report electrophoretically depositing ZnO layers onto highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Well-dispersed and stable ZnO suspensions are used for the deposition of continuous and even layers of ZnO on the substrate. ZnO powder is dispersed in acetone. The electric field applied is in the 250 V/cm to 2000 V/cm range. The morphology of the deposits are studied by SEM at the different stages of the deposition process.
