Hi

I was trying to deposit Copper-Zinc-Tin (CZT) on FTO glass substrate (cathode) through electrodeposition process using Pt anode. I tried several times but no layer was deposited on the FTO glass. Then I decided to perform electrolysis separately for three different solutions. I could easily deposit Cu from CuSO4 on FTO glass. Zn (from ZnSO4) was also deposited on the FTO flass but that layer was not enough adhesive to the glass. Then I tried the Sn salt and could not deposit any Sn layer on the FTO glass. In all three cases I applied same 5V DC.

Can you guys explain why this is happening and what can be a solution?
