Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for a method for generating a metal-oxide film. The method includes providing a metal ligand complex having a metal and a reactive moiety. The metal ligand complex is dissolved in a solvent that coats at least part of a substrate. Additionally, the method includes inducing a combustion process involving the metal ligand complex, in the absence of any additional fuel, to generate a film that is formed over at least part of the substrate. The film includes an oxide of the metal.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing a metal ligand complex comprising a metal and a reactive moiety, wherein the metal ligand complex is dissolved in a solvent that coats at least part of a substrate;
- and
- inducing a combustion process involving the metal ligand complex, in the absence of additional fuel, to generate a film that is formed over the at least part of the substrate, wherein the film comprises an oxide of the metal.
A method comprising:
- providing a metal ligand complex comprising a metal and a reactive moiety, wherein the metal ligand complex is dissolved in a solvent comprising water that coats at least part of a substrate;
- and
- generating a contiguous film by inducing a combustion process involving the metal ligand complex, in the absence of an additional fuel, wherein inducing the combustion process comprises heating the metal ligand complex and the reactive moiety.
