Abstract: The cadmium sulfide (CdS) n-type semiconductor is one of the most used as a window layer in thin-film solar cells, such as CdTe, CIS, CIGS, and CZTS. Optoelectronic properties are the most important characteristics for window materials. CdS thin films obtained using the chemical bath deposition technique (CBD) have been reported; however, large amounts of precursor solutions are used, which generate considerable amounts of toxic waste. The aim of this work is to reduce the amount of precursor solutions used fo… Show more

“…Research in the conversion and storage of renewable energy has gained vast acceleration since 2008 with the global energy crisis regarding environmental issues and economic depression due to the exploitation of carbon-based fuels. On the basis of the report of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the capacity of renewable energy is expected to double in the next five years to decrease the use of coal in the electricity generation process to keep global warming at 1.5 °C . Thanks to the enormous development in materials science and high-tech energy systems, many sustainable energy applications have been reported by incorporating hydropower, biomass, geothermal, wind, solar, and ocean energies. , Among all, solar power is the most valuable renewable energy source as it is a continuous power supply to the Earth (3.8 × 10 23 kW). , Therefore, the scientific community has been urged to seek new developments to utilize solar power for energy conversion and storage applications, such as photovoltaic (PV) devices, typically solar cells; photoelectrochemical (PEC) H 2 generation; photocatalytic systems; photorechargeable batteries; and optoelectronics. , Although solar light can be used directly, its unbalanced intermittency regularly affects energy harvest, and a huge energy potential remains untapped. Thus, capturing, converting, and storing solar energy in a single and compact system is of great interest for long-term solution.…”
