ZnO was electrodeposited on ITO glass substrate by applying five different electrodeposition potentials (-1.0 V, -1.3 V, -1.5 V, -1.7 V and -2.0 V), three different concentrations of the precursor solution (70 mM, 80 mM and 90 mM) and bath temperature (70 °C, 80 °C and 90 °C).

PEDOT was potentiostatically deposited on the optimised hexagonal flake-like ZnO-covered ITO glass substrate by applying three different potentials (1.0 V, 1.25 V and 1.5 V) where under these circumstances, the effect of varying electropolymerisation potentials were studied. The optical band gap of each of the PEDOT/ZnO composites prepared were noticed to be within the range of 3.40 eV to 3.45 eV which were in between the optical band gap values of sole PEDOT and ZnO. The presence of both materials was asserted from XRD, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy analysis where all of the corresponding peaks for each of the materials in the spectra were assigned.
