수직승화방법을 이용하여 시료의 용융점 미만의 온도에서 CdS 단결정을 성장하였다. 분말법을 이용한 X-ray 실험으로부터 구한 CdS 단결정의 격자상수 값은 $a_0=4.139\AA$, $c_0=6.719\AA$이었다. 성장된 CdS 단결정과 CuCl 용액을 사용하여 $Cu_2$S/CdS 태양전지를 제작한 후 2분 동안 공기중에서 $250^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 후 light-to-dark J-V cross over effect를 측정하였다. 측정된 Voc, Jsc, Vop와 fill factor값은 각각 0.40 volt, $4.2mA/\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.31 volt,$3.8mA/\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.68이었으며, 효율은 3.8 %를 나타내었다. 제작된 태양전지의 spectral response는 광발광 실험으로부터 498 nm (2.49eV)와 585 nm (2.12 eV)에서 그 peak가 나타남을 확인하였다.

Structural, optical and electrical properties of CdS films deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD), which are a very attractive method for low-cost and large-area solar cells, are presented. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is II-VI semiconductor with a wide band gap of approximately 2.42 eV. CdS films have a great application potential such as solar cell, optical detector and optoelectronics device. In this paper, effects of Rapid Thermal Process (RTP) on the properties of CdS films were investigated. The CdS films were prepared on a glass by chemical bath deposition (CBD) and subsequently annealed at standard temperature $(400^{\circ}C)$ and treatment time (10 min) in various atmospheres (air, vacuum and $N_2$). The CdS films treated RTP in $N_2$ for to min were showed larger grain size and higher carrier density than the other samples.

Nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin films were prepared using chemical bath deposition in a solution bath containing $CdSO_4$, $SC(NH_2)_2$, and $NH_4OH$. The CdS thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The as-deposited CdS thin film prepared at $80^{\circ}C$ for 60 min had a cubic phase with homogeneous and small grains. In the PL spectrum of the 2,900 A-thick CdS thin film, the broad red band around 1.7 eV and the broad high-energy band around 2.7 eV are attributed to the S vacancy and the band-to-band transition, respectively. As the deposition time increases to over 90 min, the PL intensity from the band-to-band transition significantly increases. The temperature dependence of the PL intensity for the CdS thin films was studied from 16 to 300 K. The $E_A$ and $E_B$ activation energies are obtained by fitting the temperature dependence of the PL intensity. The $E_A$ and $E_B$ are caused by the deep trap and shallow surface traps, respectively. From the FTIR analysis of the CdS thin films, a broad absorption band of the OH stretching vibration in the range $3,000-3,600\;cm^{-1}$ and the peak of the CN stretching vibration at $2,000\;cm^{-1}$ were found.

Copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) 기반 박막 태양전지는 저렴한 제작 단가 및 다른 박막 태양전지에 비해 높은 효율을 보여 실리콘 기반 태양전지의 차세대 태양전지로 각광을 받고 있다. 구성 요소 중 buffer 층은 window 층과 absorber 층 사이의 높은 밴드 갭(band gap)을 해소 해주는 역할을 한다. 기존의 cadmium sulfide(CdS)의 인체 유해성 때문에 이를 대신할 indium sulfide(In2S3)를 이용한 buffer 층의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학적인 방법을 통해 값싸고 간편하게 indium sulfide buffer 층을 전극 표면에 합성하는 연구를 진행하였다. Indium-Tin-Oxide(ITO) 전극표면을 sodium thiosulfate 및 indium sulfate의 혼합물 용액에 담그고 환원 전위를 인가하여 indium sulfide를 합성하였다. 크기가 다른 두 전압을 교대로 인가하여 확산 한계(diffusion limit)를 최소화 함으로써 표면에 균일한 조성을 가지는 buffer 층을 합성해 낼 수 있었다. 또한 합성 중 온도의 조절을 통해 buffer 층의 밴드 갭을 최적화 할 수 있었다. 이렇게 전기화학적으로 합성된 buffer 층은 X-선 광전자 분광법과 회절법의 분석을 통해 ${\beta}$-indium sulfide 결정구조를 가짐을 확인 하였다.

Mixed photocatalyst containing cadmium sulfide and zinc sulfide was prepared on silica gel powder and Nafion film. Photo-irradiation of aqueous mixture containing the photocatalysis generated hydrogen by water cleavage reaction. Use of sodium sulfide as sacrificial reagent help the photo-reaction. Evolution of the hydrogen was measured by gas chromatographic analysis. Composition of the catalyst was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. 0.2 mL of of hydrogen was generated per hour. The maximun catalytic activity was obtained after 8-12 hours later. Hydrogen generation efficiency by the two different catalytic system was compared and showed that the Nafion-based catalyst is more efficient than the silicagel-based catalyst for the photoreaction.

In this work CdS films were prepared by using chemical bath deposition, which is simple and inexpensive technique suitable for large deposition area. Annealing in air at different temperatures (300, 350, 400, 450 and $500^{\circ}C$) at constant time of 30 min, also for different times (15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min) at constant temperature ($300^{\circ}C$) is achieved. X-Ray analysis has confirmed the formation of cadmium oxide (CdO) with slight increase in grain size, shift towards lower scattering angle due to relaxation in the tensile strain for deposition films, and structure change from cubic and hexagonal to the hexagonal. From electrical properties, significant increase in electrical conductivity appeared in samples annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, and at $350^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

A procedure for preparing semiconductor/metal nanowire arrays is described, based on a template method which entails electrochemical deposition into nanometer-wide parallel pores of anodic aluminum oxide films on aluminum. Aligned CdS/Co heterostructured nanowires have been prepared by ac electrodeposition in the anodic aluminum oxide templates. By varying the preparation conditions, a variety of CdS/Co nanowire arrays were fabricated, whose dimensional properties could be adjusted.

We report hybrid solar cells fabricated with polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction layers that contain inorganic nanocrystals synthesized by in-situ reaction in the presence of polymer chains. The inorganic (cadmium sulfide) nanocrystal ($CdS_{NC}$) was generated by the reaction of cadmium acetate and sulfur by varying the reaction time up to 30 min. The synthesized $CdS_{NC}$ showed a rectangular flake shape, while the size of $CdS_{NC}$ reached ca. 150 nm when the reaction time was 10 min. The performance of hybrid solar cells with $CdS_{NC}$ synthesized for 10 min was better than that of a control device, whereas poor performances were measured for other hybrid solar cells with $CdS_{NC}$ synthesized for more than 10 min.

본 연구에서는 CdZnS와 CdTe로 구성되는 이종접합 소자를 제작하고 커패시턴스-전압 특성을 조사하였다. CdS/CdTe 접합의 경우, 역방향 바이어스가 증가함에 따라 공핍층의 폭이 커져 커패시턴스 값이 약간 감소하였으나 CdZnS/CdTe 접합에서는 CdTe 박막 내에서의 공핍층 폭이 바이어스에 크게 영향을 받지 않아 커패시턴스 값이 역방향 바이어스에 따라 거의 변화가 없었다. 바이어스 전압을 인가하지 않은 상태에서의 공핍층 폭은 높은 CdZnS 박막의 비저항 및 낮은 캐리어 농도로 인해 CdS/CdTe 접합보다 CdZnS/CdTe 접합에서 보다 큰 값을 나타내었다. CdZnS/CdTe 태양전지의 개방전압은 Zn의 비율이 커짐에 따라 CdZnS 박막과 CdTe 박막의 전자 친화력 차이의 감소로 인하여 크게 증가하였으나, Zn 비율이 0.35 이상인 경우 오히려 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 CdZnS 박막의 높은 비저항이 태양전지의 직렬저항을 상승시켜 전지의 변환 효율은 오히려 감소함을 알 수 있었다.
