Abstract

 

Cyclic voltammetry studies in aqueous solution were found to offer some noteworthy information in the electrodeposition synthesis of cadmium zinc sulfide thin film. The studies were performed at low pH, room temperature and fixed solution concentration. Suitable deposition potential ranges were obtained from this analysis. Cadmium zinc sulfide thin films were deposited at different potentials to determine optimum deposition potential. Scanning electron microscope images of deposited thin film show improved nucleation rate and crystal growth at higher deposition potential.

 

Key words: Cadmium zinc sulfide, pH, cyclic voltammetry, synthesis.
