An Investigation on the transport properties of spin coated redox-active nafion® thin films using cyclic voltammetry
Redox-active hexaammineruthenium(III) [Ru(NH3)6]3+ incorporated Nafion® thin films (nm) were fabricated using spin-coating technique on indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate. The deposition of the films onto the substrates was verified using energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), surface morphology...

Surface morphological results determine that the film is smooth at 10,000x magnification but exhibit lumps at high concentrations but were smoothened out at increasing thinning rates.
