AB - ZnO is one of the most promising materials for applications in nanotechnology due to its large band gap and high electron mobility. A large amount of work has focused on the study of nanostructured ZnO. However, two dimensional transparent compact layers are also of great interest as transparent conductive oxides in optoelectronic devices. Compact ZnO layers are usually deposited by methods which are generally costly thus significantly limiting their potential application. Electrodeposition is a low cost alternative, offering a high degree of control on the characteristics. In this work the effects of the deposition parameters on the film characteristics have been studied in order to fabricate the thinnest electrodeposited films ever reported and to tune the crystallographic orientation. Incorporation of the layer into an organic ZnO/P3HT:PCBM solar cell is used to demonstrate how a careful control of the orientation can dramatically improve the photovoltaic device efficiency.
