Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is coupled with zinc oxide (ZnO) to promote high transmittance due to low utilization of the solar spectrum. In this project, p-Cu2O as absorbing layer was deposited onto n-TiO2/ZnO bilayer thin film which acts as window layer in order to complete the device. Several bath temperatures of 30, 40, 50 and 60 °C were manipulated during Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) measurement and electrodeposition process for p-Cu2O thin film. The LSV measurement was employed to determine the potential value and electrochemical properties of p-Cu2O thin film. Based on findings, the suitable deposition potential chosen is − 0.4 V vs Ag/AgCl. The p-Cu2O thin film deposited at bath temperature of 40 °C exhibited the highest diffraction peak intensity in the (111)-preferred plane orientation showing high crystallinity. The surface morphology of homogeneous and well-defined triangular shape with thickness of 4.93μm was observed. The estimated bandgap energy of 1.92 eV acquired indicated to p-Cu2O thin film. The n-TiO2/ZnO bilayer/p-Cu2O heterojunction thin film was successfully fabricated and showed significant electrical rectification properties. Here in, bath temperature influenced to the enhancement of heterointerface growth development in several properties.50 27
