Abstract
Epitaxial films of CdS–ZnSe solid solution were prepared by vacuum evaporation from the source composed of equimolar amounts of CdS and ZnSe onto the (III) thin films of a NaCl–NaBr solid solution system. The action spectrum of the electrochemical photocell using these epitaxial films as photoanodes in a S2−-containing electrolyte was shifted to the longer wavelength region by about lOOnm compared with a CdS thin film anode. The open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current were found to be 0.54 V and 0.7 mA/cm2, respectively, under sunlight of 62 mW/cm2.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
