β¦ Synopsis
Thin films of CdS have been prepared by the screen-printing technique. Optical absorption studies reveal a band gap of 2.42 eV. Current-voltage studies at the CdS-(1 M NaOH-0.1 M NazS-0.1 M S) interface yield an exchange current density of 6 X 10m6 A cmm2 and a junction ideality factor of 2.8. Mott-Schottky plots at 0.4, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz show a flat-band potential of -1.07 V (SCE). At 84.5 mW cmw2 tungsten-halogen illumination, the photoelectrochemical cell gives an open-circuit voltage of 0.32 V, a short-circuit current density of 0.23 mA cme2, and a fill-factor of 0.42.
