Abstract


In this paper, ZnO-based nanostructured films were prepared by hydrothermal method on ZnO seed layers obtained
by sol-gel method and AZO transparent conductive glass. X RD, SEM, sheet resistance test, transmittance and haze spectra were used
to characterize the structure, morphology, optoelectronic properties and light trapping abilities of the films. The effects of seed layer
concentration and hydrothermal growth temperature on the characteristics of ZnO-based nanostructured fi lms were studied, and the prepared
fi lms had light trapping eff ects and high total transmittance in the visible light region.
