Abstract: 
Metal-coated polyamide threads and. laments were chosen as substrate electrodes to deposit highly porous ZnO films for photovoltaic application. The films were electrodeposited at 70 degrees C from oxygen-saturated aqueous zinc salt solutions containing EosinY as a structure directing agent. The current density during deposition was increased compared with planar electrodes by enhanced diffusion at the. laments operating as cylindrical microelectrodes. Analysis by scanning electron microscopy showed an influence of geometrical constraints within the textiles and the hydrodynamic flow rate in the deposition solution on the film morphology. Photoelectro-chemical characterization of sensitized films revealed the feasibility of the presented approach and indicated further steps needed for electrode optimization.
