摘要： Thin films of cadmium zinc sulfide (CdZnS) were deposited on microscopic glass substrates using the chemical bath deposition method and the effects of the Cd precursor concentrations on the morphological, structural and optical properties of the films were studied. The surface morphology as revealed by scanning electron microscope showed closely packed nano particles randomly spread on the surface of the glass substrates. The x-ray diffraction studies showed that the thin films were polycrystalline and the crystallite size decreased with increase in the concentration of the Cd precursor. While the optical absorbance decreased, the bandgap energy increased as the concentration of the cadmium source increased. Electrochemical studies were performed by cyclic voltammetry analysis and impedance measurements at low frequency ranges. Simulation model on the impedance model was carried out to obtain a more quantitative analysis of the data. The ternary CdZnS thin film developed in this work could be useful as window layer in solar cell fabrication.
