Abstract

A new, simple
and cost-effective electrochemical route was demontrated in this work. CdS and
PbS thin films were grown on polycrystalline gold electrode using co-deposition
and ECALE techniques based on accumulation layer by layer. The deposition
potentials of cadmium, lead and sulfur were determined separately by cyclic
voltammetry. Thin films were created from an electrolyte containing 0.01 mol L^-1 CdSO₄,
0.01 mol L^-1 Na₂S
and 0.01 mol L^-1 Pb(CH₃COO)₂ in 0.01 mol L^-1
EDTA (pH = 3.00). The influence of bath temperature at the deposition potential was
studied to determine the crystallinity of deposits. From the chronoamperometry
results including the transients which were obtained within the under potential
region, the overall shape of the experimental depositions was proposed and the
growth process was considered.
