Abstract
This work gives an overview of the possibilities to improve the wetting behavior of precursors for coated conductors on non-porous substrates. Within this work, all coatings were performed on a metallic Ni–W/La2Zr2O7/CeO2 substrate using water-based Y, Ba, Cu containing precursors. The results described in this paper can be used for different technologies of chemical solution deposition, as there are ink jet printing, dip coating, spin coating etc. Starting from the forces involved during wetting, a separation between solid and liquid modifications was made. This study revealed that if a good cleaning procedure of the substrate, whether or not combined with a targeted modification of the precursor is applied, water-based solutions can be used without restriction towards their wetting behaviour leading to a sustainable technology within the coating industry. Within this work, special attention is given to (1) fast determination of the substrate cleaning procedure quality by the creation of wetting envelopes and (2) the use of a screening design of experiment to study the effects of intrinsic solution factors, such as precursor formulation, influencing the coating behavior. All modification discussed are expandable to all kinds of precursors and substrates.
