Abstract

Polycrystalline cupric oxide (CuO) thin films were deposited using alkaline solution bath employing cathodic electrodeposition method. The thin films were electrodeposited at various solution pH. The surface morphology and elemental analyzes of the films were studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), respectively. SEM studies revealed that the surface morphology could be tailored suitably by adjusting the pH value during deposition.
