Number of methods such as vacuum evaporation [6], slurry pasting technique [5] have been attempted to prepare CdIn 2 Se 4 thin films and studied their properties.…”

“…Among II-III-VI group ternary compounds, Cadmium Indium Selenide (CdIn 2 Se 4 ) has found applications in optoelectronics and solar cells due to its higher value of absorption coefficient. CdIn 2 Se 4 is a direct band gap semiconductor with an energy gap of 1.73 eV which make them interesting for solar cells through photoelectrochemical route [2][3][4]. Thin films of CdIn 2 Se 4 are usually crystallized in tetragonal structure (JCPDS-ICDD,08-0267) with lattice constants (a = 5.820 Å; c = 5.8125 Å).…”

Synthesis of CdIn2Se4 compound used as thermoelectric materials via the solution method

“…Based on its notable electrical properties, CdIn 2 Se 4 is very interesting semiconductor which possibly to be used as thermoelectric generator. Due to its application in micro chip, this compound is always prepared as thin film via many methods such as electro-deposition [9], slurry pasting technique [5], vacuum evaporation [10] and spray pyrolysis [11]. The CdIn 2 Se 4 thin film that was prepared by an electrical deposition at low temperature has a good optical performance with a narrow band gap [12].…”
