Abstract

AgInSe2thin films were prepared by using pulsed electrodeposition technique onto stainless steel substrates in galvanostatics mode from an aqueous acidic bath containing AgNO3, InCl3 and SeO2. The kinetics of growth of the film was studied. The deposition parameters like concentration of electrolyte, time of deposition, current density and pH of electrolyte bath are optimized. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electron Dispersive Spectra (EDS) analysis of the deposited film under optimized condition showed presence of polycrystalline nature. The surface morphology was studied with the help of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) shows that the deposited films are well adherent and grains are uniformly distributed over the surface of substrate.
