“…Another advantage of the CBD technique is its ability to deposit very thin films (50 nm) in a conformal manner on a rough substrate surface. Thin films of pure CdS by CBD with different capping agents have been deposited by Patil and Singh [13] for PEC cell application. Hankare et al [14,15] have deposited the thin films of pure ZnS by dip method and have studied the PEC properties.…”

“…Moreover, some physical and chemical properties of 63 materials are dependent on the complexing agents [25]. Singh et al 64 [26] reported the influence of complex agent on both conversion 65 efficiency and stability to degradation of bath deposited CdS 66 photoelectrode under PEC conditions. Cheng investigated the 67 structural, electrical, and optical properties of the Ag-In-S ternary 68 system semiconductor using the method of CBD.…”

“…Nair and coworkers [5] 21 reported that all of Cu 2Àx S compounds exhibited a p-type 22 semiconductor characteristic with copper vacancy defect as 23 acceptors, which is the most important reason for their applica- 24 tions in the photovoltaic devices. Moreover, the electrical 25 resistance, band gap and structure of Cu 2Àx S exhibit stoichiometry 26 dependence [3].

There are tremendous efforts to realize the idea of employing photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology for generating chemical energy from solar energy. The most important feature of this technology is to coordinate the energetics of an electrochemical reaction with the solar spectrum. So, the photoelectrochemistry of a semiconducting material plays a vital role in this arena. Exploring an efficient and stable semiconductor material for such purpose is an essential prospect. There are several sulfide selenide-based semiconductors viz. II-VI (Zn/Cd = S/Se) semiconductors those exhibit high potential in PEC application. Nonetheless, they suffer by certain corrosion issues, which are important to be reviewed and are discussed here. This review highlights the significant role of cadmium chalcogenides among various materials explored in this technology. CdS is the most studied system among all those with perfect band gap and band-edge position exhibiting material, desired for photoanode in PEC cell. Next, recent progresses achieving enhancement in the performance of CdS photoanodes by doping, modifying the surface, morphology reconstruction, and engraving heterostructure is discussed in detail. The role of the nanostructured techniques, improved photo electrochemistry with redox couples, and advanced interfacial and band gap engineering is explored to overcome the lack of chemical stability of CdS. The review concludes with the bright scope of CdS as an efficient PEC material in the form of combined semiconductor systems with an optimum band gap, bandedge, and their complimentary properties rather than a single component material.
