Abstract
ABSTRACTThe electrodeposition of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) onto FTO-coated glass substrate was studied by using a statistical approach in order to control the Cu2O morphology and optical properties. The factorial design considered four electrodeposition conditions at two representative levels as input variables (electrolyte temperature and pH, deposition potential and duration) and the deposition charge and morphology of obtained Cu2O as the output variables. The morphology analysis showed the highest influence on crystal shape was exhibited by electrolyte temperature and pH, reaching significance levels of 95 and 98%, respectively. Temperature as low as 35°C and pH 12.2 results in cubic morphology, while other parameters result in octahedron shape. The highest absorbance was exhibited by the Cu2O with cubic morphology.
