Copper oxide colloidal was successfully prepared by electrolysis method. The X-ray diffraction confirms the polycrystalline structure of the films. Atomic force microscopy shows that the increase in the annealing temperature improves the surface morphology, increases the grain size and removes the cracks. The best optical transmittance was for the film annealed at 200 oC. The bandgap decreases from 3.35 eV to 3.15 eV as a result of increasing the annealing temperature. The wide bandgap that obtained in this study is due to quantum size effect.

The optical transmittance of the CdO thin film which formed at room temperature was 20% at wavelength ≈350 nm then increases to 60% at wavelength ≈1100 nm for thin film of CdO. The band-gap was also calculated from the equation relating absorption coefficient with the wavelength. The energy band gap changes from 2.3eV (Bulk CdO) to 2.45eV (CdO thin film). The plotted graphs show the optical characteristics of the film which varied with the wavelength and the photon energy. The optical conductance and band-gap indicated that the film is transmitting within the visible range. The dielectric constant and optical con...
