Abstract

© Springer. All rights reserved.CdO thin films were prepared by electrodeposition method. Solution temperatures were varied from 58 to 98 °C. It was understood from the film thicknesses and current densities that the reaction rate increased as the temperature increased. Good crystallization and a thick film were obtained at 98 °C. It was found that the energy band gap varied between 1.99 and 2.61 eV depending on the bath temperature. SEM images also showed that surface morphologies were dependent on bath temperature.
