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.
