Morphology and Topographical Comparative Study of Copper Iodide Grown Crystals Using Gel Technique
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: : The grown copper iodide crystals are Irregular, rough, Porous, dendrites, large, agglomerated and polycrystalline. Larger crystal sizes are often preferred in semiconductor applications where bulk properties matter. The grown CuI crystals advantage is increased surface area can enhance catalytic activity in chemical reactions. Polycrystalline structures often exhibit better charge transport properties, improving conductivity. Modified morphology can lead to enhanced photoluminescence, which is beneficial for optoelectronic applications like LEDs and solar cells. The presence of defects and grain boundaries can act as sites for enhanced electronic interactions. The grown CuI crystals in the images exhibit high structural order, smooth surfaces, and well-defined facets, making them superior for electronic, optical, and semiconductor applications.
