Thin, adherent films of CdS were electrodeposited on FTO coated glass by reduction of a thiosulfate precursor in the presence of Cd(II) ions in methyltributylphosphonium (P1,4,4,4) tosylate ionic liquid at 130–150 °C. The structural properties of the deposits have been characterized by profilometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was used to evaluate the chemical composition, which was found to be close to stoichiometric. Semiconductor properties including the band gap and flat band potential were calculated from UV-Vis and impedance spectroscopy measurements. The crystal structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The data obtained from XRD and band gap measurements suggest the presence of hexagonal CdS crystals. The possible growth mechanism of the films is also addressed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
