A review of recent advances in ZnO nanostructured thin films by various deposition techniques

This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin-film by various deposition techniques, primarily focusing on Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD), Spin Coating, Spray Pyrolysis, Thermal Evaporation, and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) in the methodology section. This study is novel in its approach to systematically compare these widely used techniques alongside emerging and hybrid methods including Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), Hydrothermal Synthesis, Magnetron Sputtering, Electrodeposition, Electrospray Deposition, and the Sol–Gel Method thus offering a unified perspective on ZnO thin-film fabrication. The comparative analysis indicates key findings such as…
