  We have successfully synthesized the c-axis oriented YBa2Cu4O8 (Y-124) film
on a SrTiO3 (1 0 0) substrate via a coprecipitation and a dip-coating method.
The precipitations including Y, Ba and Cu ions were obtained using their metal
nitrates solution and the aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and oxalic acid.
Superconducting transition of the synthesized film was observed at 64-70 K
corresponding to bulk Y-124 in the magnetization and resistance measurement.
The developed method is suitable to synthesize superconducting Y-124 films for
technological applications.
