“…Cadmium sulphide (CdS), a wide energy gap semiconductor has emerged as an important material due to its applications in photovoltaic cell as window layers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], optical filters and multilayer light emitting diodes [6], photo detectors [15], thin film field effect transistors [15,20,21], gas sensors [21], and transparent conducting semiconductor for optoelectronic devices [22]. CdS is naturally an n-type material with an optical band gap of 2.4 eV [23,24] employed for depositing CdS thin films are chemical vapour transport [22], vacuum evaporation [13,15,23,26], spray pyrolysis [25,27], electrodeposition [12,[28][29][30], pulsed laser deposition [30], sputtering [31], and chemical bath deposition (CBD) [2,4,5,7,8,…”
