Preparation and Characterization of Electrodeposited Nickel Hydroxide Thin Films

Abstract: The present paper deals with the preparation and characterization of nickel hydroxide thin films using the potentiodynamic mode of electrodeposition from an aqueous bath. During deposition scan rate, Bath concentration and number of the potential cycle have been optimized. Also, the various thin film characterization like Thickness of thin film was measured by using gravimetric weight difference method using sensitive microbalance, Structural properties of thin films were studied by XRD pattern, a Surface morphological study using SEM technique, and surface wettability is studied using contact angle measurement.
