Abstract
Nanoparticles ZnO/CuO composite was successfully prepared through a simple sol-gel spin coating technique. The annealing temperature was within the range of 400°C to 600°C to study its effect to the physical, optical and electrical properties to the thin films. Their characteristics were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), UV-Vis spectroscopy and 2-point probes I-V measurement. The thickness and grain size increased with the annealing temperature. The direct optical bandgap observed were between 3.06 eV to 3.2 eV, which increased with the decreased of the annealing temperature. The highest conductivity was obtained for sample annealed at 400°C with a value of 0.61614 S/cm.
