Abstract

In this work, nanocrystals (~76.6 nm) of semiconducting CdSe, obtained through chemical synthesis using a hydrothermal method, were analyzed for their structural and optical properties and compositional purity. These CdSe NRs were electrically driven from a monodisperse colloidal suspension onto a transparent conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate by the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method and nanostructured thin films were obtained. The interesting morphologies were observed by controlling the deposition parameters on the cluster growth of CdSe. Optical microscopy and SEM analysis revealed an organized nanorods assembly driven by the applied electric field. The resulting films retained their crystallinity and phase purity, confirming the eco-friendly and cost-effective nature of the EPD method. These structured CdSe assemblies show strong potential for photovoltaic and sensor applications.
