Effect of electron beam irradiation on electro synthesized hexagonal Cd0.3Zn0.7S nanosphere with excellent application in solar cell

摘要

Here, we are presenting the effect of electron irradiation on the solar cell properties of CdZnS electrodes. Briefly, CdZnS thin films have been synthesized by an electrodeposition method which is further characterized by different physiochemical techniques. Our results revealed the formation of CdZnS thin films with significant morphological deviation through deposition potential. Moreover, considerable positive effect of deposition potential on the electrochemical irradiation of CdZnS electrodes has been witnessed. Later, the results suggest that CdZnS electrode irradiated at potential 25 kGy with nanoparticle like nanostructures exhibited. Further photovoltaic activity of films was studied by forming the photoelectrochemical cell having CdZnS/0.5 M (NaSO)/C cell configuration. The maximum efficiency and fill factor of these PEC cells are found to be 1.40% and 0.68%, respectively.
