This article explores recent advancements in thin film technologies, focusing on their applications in photocatalysis, energy storage, and gas sensing. It highlights the growth of zinc oxide (ZnO) films via thermal evaporation for photocatalytic dye degradation, achieving up to 99.6% efficiency at pH 2. The study also examines vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) as a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, discussing its structural characteristics and challenges related to conductivity and stability. Additionally, the fabrication of tungsten oxide (WO3) nanoparticles for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) sensing is detailed, demonstrating high sensitivity due to nanoscale effects. Finally, the article presents the deposition of zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films as potential antireflection coatings in solar cells, emphasizing their beneficial optical properties. Overall, the findings underline the versatility of thin films in addressing energy and environmental challenges.
Keywords: Thin films, Photocatalysis, Zinc oxide (ZnO), Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), Gas sensing, Tungsten oxide (WO3), Zinc sulfide (ZnS)
