Comments on: “Gallium-doped ZnO thin films deposited by chemical spray”: [Sol. Energy Mater. Sol. Cells 87 (2005) 107–116]

摘要: Abstract In this communication, I will discuss some aspects concerning a paper recently published by H. Gomez et al. on the properties of gallium-doped ZnO thin films deposited chemical spray methods [H. Gomez, A. Maldonado, M. de la L. Olvera, D.R. Acosta, Sol. Energy Mater. Cells 87 (2005) 107.]. believe that there are wrong considerations basic principles, incorrect experimental procedures and inconsistencies analysis throughout paper. The “Introduction” reflects knowledge subject, but it seems authors aforementioned use outdated background sources in cases, inconsistently apply prior research others. “Experimental procedure” shows serious lack potentially applicable as transparent electrodes photovoltaic devices. “Results discussion”, found arguments statements contradictory, mainly when effects their vacuum annealing were being discussed. Considerations “Structural properties” necessary, they not appropriate for comparative purposes. Finally, last point, less important than others, is “Conclusions” Some suggestions made below improvement this, several
