Abstract: New chemical bath deposition method for preparation of molybdenum oxide thin films is described. The films have been prepared from acidic aqueous solution of dimethyl sulfate and ammonium heptamolybdate. The deposition was performed on glass substrates coated with thin, transparent and conductive, fluorine doped SnO2 film. Structural and electrochemical properties of molybdenum oxide thin films have been studied. It was found that the thickness of the prepared films from one chemical bath is approximately several micrometers. The analysis of recorded cyclic voltammograms proved that the films, from the electrochemical point of view, are very stable and consisted of redox couple.
