Abstract
The considerably wide light absorption spectrum and excellent chemical stability of CdSexTe1-x alloyed thin films show its significant applicability in solar cell thin film technology. In this study, a novel, economical electrodeposition technique was utilized to synthesize the CdSexTe1-x thin films, offering a simpler setup and reduced energy consumption compared to other methods of solar cell fabrication used in industrial scale. The performance of CdSexTe1-x thin film was examined with respect to several parameters, such as electrolyte composition, electrodeposition potential, treatment solution, and annealing temperature. XRD, SEM, and EDS were employed to investigate the fabricated CdSexTe1-x thin film's crystallinity, morphology, and elemental compositions. The synthesized CdSexTe1-x thin film demonstrated promising fill factor, short circuit photocurrent density (Jsc), and open-circuit voltage (Voc). The results reveal that the synthesized CdSexTe1-x thin film exhibited enhanced physical characteristics and photoelectrochemical solar cells performances as remarkable light harvesting absorber layers.
