The goal of this research was to prepare an electrodeposited thin film of Sn(IV) dioxide on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode which is completely impermeable by the Fe(CN)63-/4-redox couple. In this work, an ultrasonic probe was utilized to enhance the mass transport process in an attempt to prepare a film with low pearmeability. Cyclic voltammetry was used to compare the permeability of these new films versus those prepared in the absence of the probe. The films formed using the ultrasonic probe showed a significant decrease in permeability. Atomic force microscopy was used to measure film thickness which was found to be 30-40 nm.
