Abstract

Zn _1-xHgx _xSe ternary alloy thin films with x ranging from 0.14 to 0.5 have been deposited on conducting glass substrates by electrodeposition from aqueous bath containing ZnSO ₄, HgCl ₂ and SeO ₂ at bath temperatures from 30 ° to 80 °. The influence of deposition parameters on the crystallinity, composition, band gap and lattice constants of the film is studied. The films deposited at the potentials between -0.4V and -1.0V vs SCE at 70 ° were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), scanning electron microscope and optical absorption technique. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar cells based on Hg _xZn _1-xSe thin film electrodes were constructed and the effects of annealing and photo etching on solar cell parameters were studied.
