Recent progress in flux-mediated synthesis of complex oxide thin films and their emerging applications
摘要
Flux-mediated synthesis offers precise control over the structure, composition, and morphology of complex oxide thin films at relatively low temperatures, overcoming the limitations of conventional solid-state reactions and deposition methods. By enhancing dissolution, ion diffusion, and crystal growth, molten flux enables tailored morphology engineering, uniform compositional tuning, and effective defect control. This review summarizes recent advances in flux-mediated synthesis of complex oxide thin films, highlighting its application to various material systems that have achieved significant performance improvements in electronic, optoelectronic, and energy conversion devices. This review serves as an overview of recent advances in flux-mediated synthesis of complex oxide thin films and offers insights into the future development of next-generation high-performance electronic, optoelectronic, and energy applications.
