- Abstract
In this article, we are reporting the effect of different substrates on the growth of nanostructured bismuth selenide (BiSe) thin films for photoelectrochemical (PEC) application. Three different substrates are used such as glass, indium doped tin oxide (ITO) and fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) for the deposition of BiSe thin film using arrested precipitation technique at room temperature (300 K). The optical, structural, morphological, compositional and PEC properties of BiSe thin films were studied by using various characterization techniques such as UV-Vis-NIR, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and PEC as a function of different substrates. Finally, the PEC performance of deposited thin films shows highest conversion efficiency 0.14 % for BiSe thin films deposited on FTO coated substrate surface.
