摘要

Liquid phase deposition (LPD) technique, developed from wet chemical processing, is a new thin film-forming method to create thin oxide films from aqueous solutions. Due to the distinguishing characteristic of LPD, it has received increasing interest in recent years and been widely used in many fields, especially in the preparation of functional oxide coatings for integrated circuit, metal oxide semiconducting nanomaterials, biosensor, photocatalysis and antibacterial materials. In current review, we first briefly introduced the basic principles and characteristics of LPD and then summarized previous empirical studies for the preparation of metal oxide thin films fabricated by using LPD technique. Furthermore, the applications of LPD method in analytical chemistry, such as the preparation of separation media for chromatography and solid-phase extraction, chemical sensors and composited electrodes, are discussed in detail. At last, the future development and application of LPD in analytical chemistry is prospected.
