Sol-gel preparation of ZnO films with extremely preferred orientation along (002) plane from zinc acetate solution
TL;DR: In this article, a homogeneous and stable solution was prepared by dissolving the zinc acetate in a solution of 2methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine, which was obtained by preheating the dip-coating films at temperatures from 200° − 500°C for 10 min after each coating and postheating at temperatures between 500° − 800°c for 1 h.
