Realization of improved Hackee’s quality factor and photo degradation efficiency of cauliflower shape nanostructured CdO thin films through Cs doping
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Cauliflower shape nanostructured Cs-doped CdO (CdO:Cs) thin films were grown using perfume atomizer. A strong (1 1 1) preferential orientation is noticed for the cubic structured CdO:Cs thin films. Surface morphology of CdO was strongly influenced with Cs doping. All the doped films exhibit better transparency than pure CdO. With Cs doping, the absorption edge seems to shift towards lower wave lengths (i.e. higher energies). The 2 wt.% Cs-doped CdO thin film exhibits a minimum resistivity of 0.95 × 10−3 Ω-cm. Increased Hackee’s quality factor realized with Cs doping confirms that the CdO:Cs thin films are well suited for optoelectronic devices especially as transparent electrodes. A maximum photo degradation efficiency of 86.9 % was realized for the 2 wt.% Cs-doped CdO thin film against malachite green under visible light.
