Structural, morphological and optical properties of sprayed nanocrystalline thin films of Cd1-xZnxS solid solution

“…Moreover, its tunable optical band gap allows Cd 1-x Zn x S to be used for short wavelength optoelectronic devices such as blue, violet, or even ultraviolet LED's, laser diodes and photodetectors. [10][11][12] Apart from optoelectronic applications, CdZnS also has potential applications in photoelectrochemical devices such as photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells (for solar energy conversion) [13] and photoelectrochemical/ photocatalytic cells for splitting of water for hydrogen production. [14][15][16][17][18] Cd 1-x Zn x S is preferred over CdS for photoelectrochemical/photocatalytic splitting of water because A series of nanocrystalline thin films of cadmium zinc sulphide (Cd1-xZnxS) solid solution were deposited on glass substrates using spray pyrolysis.…”

Growth, annealing and thermo-electrical properties of Cd1−xZnxS thin films for microbolometers

“…Therefore, the results for CdS films on silicon nitride can be compared with literature data for CdS on other substrates. The resistivity values reported in the literature vary from 10 3 to 10 8 O cm [11][12][13][14][15] for chemical bath deposition to 10 À1 -10 3 O cm [16][17][18][19][20][21] for MOCVD grown and evaporated CdS and CdZnS films on glass.…”
