Abstract
Thin films of Cu2O were electrodeposited and characterised by techniques in cluding XRD, SEM-EPMA, and spectrophotometry. The structure, morphology, co mposition, and optical properties of the films depend on the electrochemica l bath and deposition parameters. The kind of substrate pretreatment proces s also seems to have an effect on film properties. The electrodeposited Cu2 O films may be used for photovoltaic, photothermal, and oxygen sensor appli cations.
