Abstract
In this research study, NiTe and NiTe/Mo were synthesized using an electrochemical deposition technique. The XRD spectrum displayed diffraction peaks at the (111), (200), (210), (211), (300), and (311) planes which corresponded to 13.22 o, 16.95 o, 18.85 o, 25.93 o, 30.84 o, and 32.98 o for NiTe and 13.41 o, 16.84 o, 18.85 o, 25.93 o, 30.84 o, 32.98 o for NiTe/Mo. The undoped film displays melted wax with oil splatter. The reaction between the transition metal and chalcogenide material is exposed by the nanoparticle. The film showed how the wax was transformed into stone-like nanoparticles at 40 oC. The U.V. area had the most absorbance and reflectance, yet transmittance grew as the wavelength grew. Adding molybdenum raised the precursor temperature, increasing the thickness from 132.02 to 150.21 nm and lowering the conductivity. Promising materials for solar devices are made possible by the synthesized materials' enhanced resistivity. A bandgap energy of 1.18 to 2.22 eV was discovered.
