Electrodeposition and properties of copper-doped cadmium sulphide

Fabrication of Grätzel solar cell with TiO2/CdS bilayered photoelectrode

“…It is the most widely studied nano-crystalline semiconductor as a photoanode in photoelectrochemical cells because of its suitable band gap, long lifetimes, important optical properties, excellent stability and easy fabrication [14][15][16], however it hasn't been much studied in the case of DSCs. Among the various techniques [17][18][19][20], used for the deposition of CdS thin films, chemical bath deposition (CBD) is a very inexpensive and relatively simple technique. In our earlier study of photocatalysis in TiO 2 -CdS bilayered thin film, CdS layer has been deposited by CBD technique using NH 4 NO 3 as complexing agent for Cd ions and the Cd/S ratio in the chemical bath has been optimized for high photocatalytic activity [21].…”

Recrystallization processes in screen-printed CdS films

“…A variety of deposition techniques have been used to grow CdS films with desirable optical, electrical and structural properties, among them chemical deposition [4,5], physical vapor deposition [6,7], spray pyrolysis [8,9], and electrodeposition [10,11]. Each of the abovelisted techniques has some advantages and disadvantages, and a cost/quality ratio may serve as an important criterion of selection.…”

“…1a,b). Cadmium sulphide (CdS) was also grown by galvanostatic 12 (Fig. 1c) and potentiostatic (results not shown) deposition in colloidal assemblies, again yielding three-dimensionally periodic structures after the template is removed.…”
