“…It has monoclinic structure and exhibits many properties such as high thermal conductivity, stability, and photovoltaic performance. Owing to these versatile properties, CuO can be used in several diverse applications, including fabrication of optoelectronic devices (Yu et al, 2016), heterogeneous catalysts (Chary et al, 2005), selective gas sensors (Samarasekara et al, 2006, Nayan et al, 2016, and solar cells (Chang et al, 2011, Shabu et al, 2015, Kidowaki et al, 2012. Up to now, CuO thin films have been synthesized using a variety of deposition techniques (Morales et al, 2005, Lim et al, 2014, Koh et al, 2013, Chen et al, 2009, Nair et al, 1999, Balamurugan et al, 2001, Mageshwari et al, 2013.…”
