【 摘 要 】

In the present investigation, TiO₂, CdS and TiO₂/CdS bilayer system have been deposited on the fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate by chemical methods. Nanograined TiO₂ was deposited on FTO coated glass substrates by successive ionic layers adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. Chemical bath deposition (CBD)method was employed to deposit CdS thin film on pre-deposited TiO₂ film. A further study has beenmade for structural, surface morphological, optical and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of FTO/TiO₂, FTO/CdS and FTO/TiO₂/CdS bilayers system. PEC behaviour of FTO/TiO₂/CdS bilayers was studied and compared with FTO/CdS single system. FTO/TiO₂/CdS bilayers system showed improved performance of PEC properties over individual FTO/CdS thin films.
