The effect of additives on the Cu2O crystal morphology in acetate bath by electrodeposition

Morphological, structural, and photoelectrochemical characterization of n‐type Cu2O thin films obtained by electrodeposition

“…In fact, at room temperature there is no formation of the Cu 2 O compound onto the FTO substrate surface, in agreement with what has been said above. On the other hand, at bath temperatures of 50 and 70 °C the formation of star shaped Cu 2 O crystal films on the substrate surface can be observed, similar crystalline shapes have been observed by other authors 17, 18. Moreover, the temperature increase leads to greater surface coverage, i.e.…”

Effect of conductive substrate (working electrode) on the morphology of electrodeposited Cu2O

“…Before electrodeposition, the substrates were rinsed with distilled water and then cleaned with ethanol in an ultrasonic set for about 10 min. In our work, Cu 2 O films were electrodeposited in 0.1 M sodium acetate (NaOAc) and 0.02 M Cu(OAc) 2 aqueous solutions [20], with pH adjusted to 5.6 using acetic acid.…”

Photoassisted Electrodeposition of a Copper(I) Oxide Film

“…Electrodeposition 14) has many advantages such as low cost, simple processes, and controllable thickness and structure of the films. Many studies have reported nanostructured Cu 2 O deposition, 2,15,16) particle shape, 3,11,12,17) deposition temperature, 18,19) and film orientation control 20) using electrodeposition methods. The electrodeposition of the Cu 2 O film was usually achieved at temperatures 5,10,2023) higher than room temperature to overcome the activation energy.…”
