Direct Electrodeposition of 1.46 eV Bandgap Silver(I) Oxide Semiconductor Films by Electrogenerated Acid
Source abstract
Abstract
The direct electrodeposition of Ag2O films was discovered for the first time using a new strategy termed “oxides synthesis induced by electrogenerated acid”. The Ag2O film with a bandgap energy of 1.46 eV is suited to a light absorption layer in photovoltaic cells.

20. The pH was adjusted by adding a NaOH solution.
21. Caution: It is possible that the reaction of high concentration silver nitrate and ammonia, or electrolysis solution (including diluted solutions) left for a long time, might give fulminating silver (explosive nature). The electrolysis solution must be inactivated with chloride salts such as NaCl after the experiments without delay.
22. For the calculation, a complex formation constant of 107.31was used.
