Synthesis and characterization of undoped samarium-doped CuO–SnO2:F thin films using the spray pyrolysis technique are presented. The effect samarium doping level on physical properties these was thoroughly analyzed. X-ray diffraction patterns proved successful synthesis pure films, free from detectable impurities. smallest crystallite size observed in 6% Sm-doped films. CuO–SnO2films demonstrated an increasedsurface area 40.6 m2/g, highlighting improved textural properties, which further validated by XPS analysis.The bandgap energy found to increase 1.90 eV for 2.52 4% CuO–SnO2:F, before decreasing 2.03 Photoluminescence spectra revealed various emission peaks, suggesting a quenching effect. A numerical simulation new solar cell based FTO/ZnO/Sm–CuO–SnO2:F/X/Mo carried out Silvaco Atlas software, where X represented absorber layer CIGS, CdTe, CZTS. results showed that with CIGS as achieved highest efficiency 15.98. Additionally, strong photocatalytic performance, showing 86% degradation ampicillin after two hours. This comprehensive investigation provided valuable insights into synthesis, potential applications CuO–SnO2 particularly pharmaceutical applications.
