Abstract
ELLIS et al.1 reported studies of single crystal CdX based photoelectrochemical cells when X = S, Se or Te and found that the best efficiencies were obtained when CdTe was used as the photoelectrode. Photoelectrochemical cells using thin films of CdS and CdSe have been reported by Miller and Heller2 and by Hodes et al.3 In this paper, we report on a photoelectrochemical cell using a thin polycrystalline film of CdTe.
