Investigation of the Optical and Electrical Properties of Copper Telluride and Cadmium Telluride Thin Films Using Electrodeposition Technique

Abstract

Copper and Cadmium Telluride thin films have been successfully deposited on a glass substrate indium doped Tin oxide (ITO) by electrodeposition technique. The absorbance was measured using M501 UV-visible spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 300-900 nm. Copper and Cadmium Telluride thin films were investigated at room temperature. The absorbance of cadmium telluride thin films of sample CdTe2 and CdT3 increase with the wavelength while sample CdTe1, CdT4 and CdT5 partially increase as the wavelength increases. The transmittance spectra of the cadmium telluride thin films deposited increases with the wavelength. The absorbance of copper telluride thin films were found to be in the range of 0.152-0.334 for sample CT1, 0.064-0.254 for sample CT2,

Simple synthesis and photoelectric properties of Cu2Te nanotubes

“…With different crystal structures, by adjusting the Cu : Te ratio, it is helpful to achieve its various properties. 10 So far, there are many methods for the synthesis of copper telluride, including hydrothermal method, 11,12 electrodeposition method, [13][14][15][16] microwave synthesis method, [17][18][19][20] and cation exchange method. 21 However, some of the above methods have shortcomings such as complex synthesis steps, poor reproducibility, or low yield, which are not suitable for large scale preparation.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Aluminium Sulphide (Al2S3) Thin Films

“…including, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) vacuum evaporation, radio frequency sputtering and electrodeposition. Among these techniques, electrochemical deposition offers several advantages: it is relatively economical and can be used on a large scale [19][20][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. 42 Ω/m was used as substrate for deposition.…”
