摘要
Zinc sulphide photoelectrode have been synthesized by dip method. Zinc sulphide acts as photoanode in photoelectrochemical cells. The photoanode annealed up to 473 K. The configuration of fabricated cell is n-ZnS|NaOH (1 M)+ S (1 M)+ Na2S (1 M)|C-(graphite). The various performance parameters were examined with respect to annealed temperature. It is found that fill factor and efficiency are maximum for photoelectrode annealed at 473 K. This is due to low resistance, high flat band potential, maximum open circuit voltage as well as maximum short-circuit current. The barrier-height was examined from the temperature dependence of the reverse saturation current. The utility of this work is in improving the efficiency of photoelectrochemical cell.
