Properties of photoelectrochemical cells with a chemically sprayed photoanode

Abstract
Chemically sprayed CdSe thin films were used as photoanodes in photoelectrochemical solar cells. The power characteristics of the cell ITO/CdSe/Na2S‐S‐NaOH/Pt was measured. The energy conversion efficiency of this cell was 7.8% at 340 nm and 5.2% under 50‐mW/cm2 white light.
