Electrodeposited SnS thin layers on template substrates for solar cells and secondary batteries

SnSx semiconductor electrodeposition onto nanoordered template substrates produced using electrochemical porous oxidizing of aluminum has been investigated. The two types of template substrates have been investigated: nanoporous alumina and nanoordered aluminum surface after the porous oxide removal. XRD results prove predominantly single-phase polycrystalline SnS formation in the both cases. The results could be used for thin-film solar cells and secondary batteries development.
