Abstract

Room temperature soft chemical synthesis route is used to grow nanograined copper hydroxide [Cu(OH)₂] thin films on glass and stainless steel substrates. The structural, morphological, optical and wettability properties of Cu(OH)₂ thin films are studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-vis spectrophotometer and water contact angle measurement techniques. The results showed that, room temperature chemical synthesis route allows to form the nanograined and hydrophilic Cu(OH)₂ thin films with optical band gap energy of 3.0 eV. The electrochemical properties of Cu(OH)₂ thin films are studied in an aqueous 1 M NaOH electrolyte using cyclic voltammetry. The sample exhibited supercapacitive behavior with 120 F/g specific capacitance.
