CuInSe2 (CIS) precursor films have been prepared by electrodeposition in aqueous solution. The electrodeposited films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for structural, morphological and componential properties. The influence of deposition potential and Na-citrate concentration on composition and morphology of electrodeposited films was studied in detail. It is found that the film morphology is strongly influenced by deposition potential and Na-citrate concentration. Films with large and homogenous grain size and ratio of Cu/In approaching 1 were obtained at deposition potentials of -0.7 and -0.75 V vs the saturated calomel electrode (SCE) and Na-citrate concentration of 500 mmol/L. Chalcopyrite phase CuInSe2 is contained in precursor films that have poor crystallinity.
