| Abstract [eng] |
Surface modification with new functional materials has been studied for the past years. This kind of surface modification enables scientists to find new materials that can be used in various fields. Most commonly surface modification is carried out for better material surface electrical properties. In this master’s degree project fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrate surfaces electrical properties were improved. This was achieved with spin-coated zinc oxide ZnO nanoparticles and deposited cadmium sulfide CdS layers by the chemical bath deposition method. In the project, cadmium sulfide 1, 3, and 5 layers were formed at 40 °C, 60 °C, and 80 °C temperatures. Analysis of FTO/ZnO/CdS was carried out using x-ray diffraction analysis XRD, UV–visible spectrophotometry UV/Vis, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy SEM/EDS, Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). |
