Properties of electrochemically-deposited NiTe films doped with molybdenum at varying temperatures
This novel research is centered on synthesizing nickel telluride (NiTe) film through electrochemical deposition (ECD) technique. The film was doped with 0.1 M molybdenum at varying temperatures of 40 °C, 45 °C and 50 °C. The structure, morphology, elemental, optical, and electrical characteristics o...

| description | This novel research is centered on synthesizing nickel telluride (NiTe) film through electrochemical deposition (ECD) technique. The film was doped with 0.1 M molybdenum at varying temperatures of 40 °C, 45 °C and 50 °C. The structure, morphology, elemental, optical, and electrical characteristics of the prepared samples has been investigated. Hexagonal crystal structure with prominent peaks was gotten from the X-ray diffractograms. The surface morphologies showed nanograins while the elemental compositions were confirmed from the EDX plots. Optical plots gave high absorbance and decreasing band gap energy values at increasing temperature. The electrical results gave improved electrical conductivity as the temperature increased. The prepared samples find useful application in optical and solar cell devices. |
