Cd-rich CdxHg1 − xTe films have been electrodeposited under potentiostatic conditions on conducting glass and Ti substrates from an acidic solution containing the respective ions as Cd2+:Hg2+:HTeO2+= 100:1:2. Six films one after another have been prepared from a single electrochemical cell. EDAX analysis of the air annealed films show decreasing Hg content in the deposit as the number of film preparation increases. SEM analysis indicate undulatory surface with Hg-rich clusters at the top surface. XRD analysis indicate the presence of CdxHg1 − xTe along with CdTe HgTe . The CdxHg1 − xTe alloy formation have been confirmed from Raman shift measurements which change with composition, x. The as-deposited films are n-type but converts to p-type after air annealing. Spectral response measurements gave band gap values that change with Hg content in the deposit. Band gap values ranging from 1.1 eV to 1.45 eV have been estimated. Photoelectrochemical solar cells using polysulphide electrolyte have been fabricated which gave an open-circuit photovoltage and short-circuit photocurrent, respectively, as 325 mV and 5.5 mA/cm2under 60 mW/cm2intensity of illumination.
