The influence of Substrate Temperature (ST) on the structural and optical properties of FTO thin films is investigated. XRD pattern authenticates the presence of single phase polycrystalline orthorhombic structure with favored orientation along (230) and (200) directions. The sharp band obtained between 475 and 700 cm<sup>-1</sup> originated from asymmetric stretching vibrations of metal oxide (SnO<sub>2</sub>:F). The highest band gap energy was obtained as 3.57 eV at 425°C and lowest band gap energy was obtained as 3.49 eV at 450°C obtained from UV-Vis spectra.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Frontiers in Advanced Materials Research}, author={R, Suresh and T, Indira Priyadharshini and A, Yogeshwaran and S, Govindasamy}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={6-14} }
