Enhancement of photochemical deposition (PCD) and analysis of surface spread of CdS crystalline thin films

Investigation on structural, optical, morphological and electrical properties of thermally deposited lead selenide (PbSe) nanocrystalline thin films

“…EDTA is a chelating agent which captures metal ions once it gets saturated in capturing, it releases the metal ions periodically for reaction to get PbSe. Shyju et al [25] and Padmavathy et al [26] have used EDTA as chelating agent to enhance the growth kinetics during the deposition of CdSe and CdS thin films, respectively from the aqueous solution.…”

Effects of annealing on cadmium selenide nanocrystalline thin films prepared by chemical bath deposition

“…EDTA is an amino derived organic compound known to be a strong chelating agent, which forms stable complexes with metal ions and dissociates reversibly at a low rate. Zhang et al [10] and Padmavathy et al [11] have used EDTA as chelating agent in the chemical bath and photochemical deposition of CdS thin films from the aqueous solution.…”

A new route for preparing CdS thin films by chemical bath deposition using EDTA as ligand

“…Furthermore, EDTA has been used in several process involving CdS colloid [10] or cadmium particles [11,12]. EDTA affects the adsortion and desortion processes of cadmium in red soil (ferrisoils) [13], and also, it affects the growth of CdS crystalline thin films by photochemical deposition [14].…”
