Abstract

Nickel sulfide thin films were deposited onto titanium substrates using triethanolamine as a complexing agent. The presence of the complexing agent was found to improve the lifetime of the deposition bath. The deposition conditions for obtaining good quality films such as potentials and concentrations were optimized. The films were characterized using X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy. The photosensitivity of the films was studied using linear sweep voltammetry in the presence of sodium thiosulphate solution. The bandgap energy was found to be about 1.9 eV with indirect electronic transition.
