Fabrication and Characterization of Gold Nanoparticles by Electrolysis Technique for schottky photodiode applications

Abstract

Abstract In this research gold nano-particles (AuNPs) was synthesized by electrolysis Technique. Au thin films were deposited on the silicon and the borosilicate glass at a Temperature (80 °C) by dropcasting method. Structural, optical and topographic properties of prepared Au NPs was estimated by UV-VIS spectrometer, TEM, AFM, and XRD diffraction. The open circuit Voltage (Voc=2.8 mV) and Short-circuit density (Isc=5mA). This resultant relive that the fill factor (F.F) and conversation efficiency (η), were 32% and 9.3% respectively.
