“…Early studies, carried out in the 1980s, were primarily concerned with recipes to prepare thin films of II-IV compound semiconductors for laboratory use. [4][5][6] For example, electrodeposition of cadmium sulfide from solutions of cadmium salt was made possible by electroreduction of elemental sulfur either directly dissolved to dimethylsulfoxide [4] or released by decomposition of thiosulfate in water. [5] Thin films of the same material could also be simply synthesized by chemical precipitation from an aqueous mixed solution of cadmium salt and thiourea, in which thiourea slowly decomposes to generate sulfide ions.…”

Electrodeposition of inorganic compound thin films in the presence of certain organic molecules results in self‐assembly of various hybrid thin films with new properties. Examples of new discoveries by the authors are reviewed, taking cathodic formation of a ZnO/dye hybrid as the leading example. Hybridization of eosinY leads to the formation of highly oriented porous crystalline ZnO as the consequence of dye loading. The hybrid formation is a highly complicated process involving complex chemistry of many molecular and ionic constituents. However, electrochemical analyses of the relevant phenomena indicate the possibility of reaching a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism, giving us the chance to further develop them into industrial technologies. The porous crystals are ideal for photoelectrodes in dye‐sensitized solar cells. As the process also permits the use of non‐heat‐resistant substrates, the technology can be applied for the development of colorful and light‐weight plastic solar cells.

“…On the other hand, current decay resulting from the electroreduction of thicker anodic layers produced by anodization up to Es.a = -0.16V (Fig. 6), can be described by the equation (8) where the first term corresponds to an instantaneous nucleation and 3D growth under diffusion control, and the second term is as already given by Equation 3. Then, the current transients can be satifactorily reproduced (Fig.…”

“…However, in the case of cadmium sulphide there is a limitation to its use because of the cost and difficulty of preparing single crystals on a large scale [7,8]. Primarily for these reasons, electrochemical methods of preparation of polycrystalline CdS films have been investigated.…”

Kinetics and mechanism of the electroreduction of anodic layers produced on cadmium in alkaline solution containing sodium sulphide

et al. 1991

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The kinetics of the potentiostatic electroreduction of different anodic layers produced on cadmium in Na2S containing alkaline solutions has been studied at 25 ~ C. Two types of anodic layer were used: (i) layers produced in the potential range of CdS and Cd(OH)2 stability, and (ii) layers predominantly composed of CdS. The electroreduction kinetics for both layers can be explained reasonably well throughout the nucleation and growth processes under diffusion control.
