The electrochemical behavior of cadmium in sulfide solutions - I. The initial stages of CdS film growth
Description
A model for the initial stages of anodic CdS film deposition in pH 14 sulfide solutions is presented. Cyclic voltammetry carried out over a range of sulfide concentrations consistently reveals three anodic peaks. The first peak has been found to represent the activation-controlled deposition of one-half of a CdS monolayer. This is substantiated by a computer-simulation of the current/potential curves based on a two-electron transfer mechanism. The Cd and S ions are then considered to place-exchange, and a second one-half monolayer of CdS is deposited in the second anodic peak
