CdS/CdTe thin film solar cells have exceeded the efficiencies of nearly 20% and 16% in laboratory and industrial scale devices respectively. Owing to the large band gap of 2.42 eV of CdS semiconductor, it is used as the ...

The semiconductor cadmium telluride (CdTe) has been widely used in applications of photovoltaics, sensors and detectors because of its direct band gap with high atomic number and electron density. With its narrow and direct ...

Thin films of CdS and CdTe semiconductor materials were electrodeposited onto glass/fluorine doped tin oxide conducting glass surfaces using a potentiostat/galvanostat equipped with a three electrode cell. Aqueous ...
