      electro-sprayingmg/cm280~90high efficiency; homogeneity (2%~5%); simple equipment impurities from solvent; thickness limitation
      electro-depositionμg/cm2~mg/cm290~100high efficiency; fast and simple; no cross contamination impurities from solvent; deposits composition is unknown
      vacuum evaporationμg/cm2~mg/cm25~10the coating is smooth; the thickness homogeneity is highlow efficiency; time-consuming preparation of the material for evaporation; substrate is easily deformed by heat
