Abstract
CuxZn1-x alloy films were electrodeposited from non-cyanide sulphate solutions. Solution zinc ion concentration was varied, while that of copper was kept constant. Cyclic voltammetry studies from solutions showed that change in zinc ion molarity causes differences in electrolyte characteristics and resulting films. Morphology, elemental composition and phase structures of electrodeposited samples were characterised using SEM, EDS and XRD, respectively. Additionally, resistivity measurements were carried out on films using the four-point probe method. Results show that change of solution zinc concentration affects morphological, elemental and structural properties of deposited films, which consequently results in different electrical resistivity behaviour.
