摘要：

CoSb3 thin films are deposited on conducting glass substrates (FTO) by electrodeposition at different bath temperatures (60 degrees C, 70 degrees C and 80 degrees C) and the resulting influence of the bath temperature on the structure, morphology and electrical properties of films is investigated. X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of CoSb3 phase in the films. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that different morphologies ranging from branched nano-flakes to nano-needles evolve as bath temperature increases. It is concluded that a growth temperature of 80 degrees C is suitable for producing CoSb3 films with such properties that show potential feasibility for thermoelectric applications.
