Electrodeposition of Sb-Se thin films

I am doing electrodeposition of Sb-Se thin films over ITO substrates. But the same thing cannot be repeated using stainless steel substrates. I don't what would be the reason. Will adherence play a role? Some times I get the films coated with graphite which I have used as anode. Tell me your suggestions.

Hi, A. Your inquiry is a bit brief for me to understand, but electrodeposition with good adhesion onto stainless steel -- which is a very passive substrate -- requires starting with a Wood's Nickel Strike. Detailed info can be found in Jack Dini's "Electrodeposition". Good luck.
