Characterization of screen printed Ti/CdS and Ti/CdSe photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production

摘要

Authors report preparation and characterization of CdSe/Ti and CdS/Ti photoelectrodes for their application in photoelectrochemical hydrogen production using a semiconductor septum solar cell configuration. The septum electrodes were characterized structurally, optoelectronically and photoelectrochemically for their use in septum solar cells for hydrogen production. Both these septum electrodes exhibited high photosensitive current in the solid-state and the photoelectrochemical solar cell configuration. The j-E (current density-potential) characteristics of the semiconductors in the photoelectrochemical cell configuration indicated promising photo-chemical energy conversion current (photocurrent).
