Synthesis, structural and morphological characterization of CdO1-x SnO2x/FTO nanocomposites prepared by laser induced plasma

In this work, (CdO)1-x (SnO2)x with x=5% have been deposited on glass and florid tin dioxide (FTO) substrates using laser-induced plasma technique, Thin films were examined by X-ray which showed the thin films are multi-crystalline also the attendance of the CdO cubic shaped and tetragonal tin oxide (SnO2) phases at different laser energy. The grain size increase from 50.53 to 93.29nm with an expansion of laser energy from 400 mJ to 700 mJ. The surface morphology of the prepared samples showed densely packed grains. Under 100mW/cm2 intensity illumination, photovoltaic properties examined. short circuit current density increase with the increase of laser energy. An open-circuit voltage (Voc) increase slightly and a fill factor (F.F.) and efficiency (η) increase with increase laser deposition energy.
