Abstract Scope |
The performance of energy conversion and storage technologies such as solar cells, supercapacitors, and batteries is the subject of a lot of research. Cadmium selenide (CdSe) thin films are appropriate for the next generation of chalcogenide-based photovoltaic and electrochemical energy storage systems because of their narrow bandgap and high absorption coefficient in the visible range, as well as their low electrical resistivity. This paper provided a concise background on the chemical synthesis of CdSe nanoparticles as well as information on the film properties generated at temperatures that are reproducible, effective, and affordable for optoelectronics applications. Due to the band gaps, which were established by many evaluated studies, being adequately located in the visible solar energy region, these CdSe thin films are suitable for electrochemical energy storage systems, such as in solar energy harvesting. |
