Thin films of molybdenum disulphide have been prepared by electrodeposition from an aqueous bath by using molybdenum trioxide and sodium thiosulphate as Mo- ion and S-2 ion sources, respectively. The films deposited onto stainless steel and fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates were adherent to the substrate. X-ray diffraction studies show that films are polycrystalline. SEM shows films are continuos and uniform. Optical absorption gives a bandgap energy of 1.7 eV.
