“…Although the above mentioned methods represented the proper results, some of their disadvantages such as time consuming and difficulties have attracted more attention to find the more convenient and feasible deposition methods. Therefore, in our group, electrochemical deposition by taking many advantages as a reliable, cost-effective, convenient and mild physicochemical method has been considered as an important issue for preparation of ZnO nanostructured hybrid films [15,16]. The other often cited advantages of electrodeposition include; high deposition speed, no need for vacuum system, no use of toxic gases, easy scale up and maintenance, the commercial feasibility of the process, tuning the process parameters, and controlling bath conditions (pH, precursor concentration, temperature, solvent, deposition potentials and times) [17][18][19][20][21], which can make it applicable method for modification of solar cell photoanodes.…”
