An efficient deposition method of the morphologically controlled oxides of manganese (Mn2O3), iron (α-Fe2O3), nickel (NiO) and copper (CuO) spherical shaped nanoball thin films was developed by an in-house built electric field directed aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (EFDAACVD) technique. The Mn2O3, α-Fe2O3, NiO and CuO thin films were grown by using a single source precursor, metal acetate, under the application of an electric field that induces the formation of nanoballs of metal oxide thin films with controlled morphologies. The EFDAACVD-produced metal oxide thin films were characterized by using various suitable analytical characterization techniques. The photoelectrochemical properties of the EFDAACVD-produced Mn2O3, α-Fe2O3, NiO and CuO thin films were investigated in the presence of 0.1 M Na2SO4 under illumination of simulated solar irradiation of AM 1.5 G (100 mW/cm2). The charge transfer dynamics of the thin films were also explored using electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) technique.
