Abstract
ABSTRACT Silicon dioxide thin films are a promising alternative to protective glass in solar cells. In this work, one-layer and four-layer thin films of a perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) were spin-coated from solution in dibutyl ether and cured by exposure to moderate temperatures or ultraviolet (UV) light to obtain glassy SiOx layers. Optical and morphological properties as well as their long-term stability were studied using XPS, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and SEM microscopy with EDX analysis. The results showed that the process of converting PHPS layers to SiOx continues after the completion of the curing procedure for both methods. However, the composition of the thermally cured films is similar to silicon oxide, while the UV-cured samples demonstrate a composition similar to silicon dioxide due to differences in the reactions occurring during the curing process. The prolonged transformation process opens up possibilities for creating self-improving protective coatings based on PHPS. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍：
Surface Engineering provides a forum for the publication of refereed material on both the theory and practice of this important enabling technology, embracing science, technology and engineering. Coverage includes design, surface modification technologies and process control, and the characterisation and properties of the final system or component, including quality control and non-destructive examination.
