Abstract

The growth of ternary semiconductor thin films of cadmium indium selenide nanofibers has been carried out from aqueous solution of cadmium sulphate, indium trichloride, and selenium dioxide by electrochemical route. These thin films have been further optimized using photoelectrochemical cell (PEC). Optimized thin film has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
