Abstract

Nanocrystalline cubic Cu2O thin films are developed by simple and cost-effective modified successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. This method increases the growth rate and reduces the overall deposition time. The synthesized Cu2O thin films were characterized for their different physico-chemical properties. The film deposited for 25 cycles exhibits optical band gap energy of 2.16 eV, phase pure cubic Cu2O structure, foggy like surface morphology and hydrophobic in nature. The photoelectrochemical device fabricated using Cu2O thin film showed an efficiency of 0.35 %.
