Abstract
The Cd1-xMnxS thin films were deposited by simple and cost-effective chemical bath deposition method. A photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar cell with configuration Cd1-xMnxS | 1M (NaOH-Na2S- S) | C is formed. The photo-voltage increases with polarity negative towards the Cd1-xMnxS electrode, showing that Cd1-xMnxS is of n-type semiconductor. The capacitance-voltage measurements give useful information regarding the donor concentration (ND) and type of conductivity. The values of Vfb varies from -750 mV to -850 mV. The junction ideality factors under light are calculated from the slope of the plot log I against V, and have values from 1.86 to 1.53 for ITO substrates. The series and shunt resistances are found to be 296 Ω and 1.83 kΩ respectively for x = 0.6 Keywords: PEC, Cd1-xMnxS thin films, flat band potential, Ideality factor
