Kinetic aspects of hydrochemical deposition of cadmium sulfide from solutions with diverse ligand backgrounds

Abstract

A comparative kinetic study was carried out and formal kinetic equations were derived for the chemical deposition of cadmium sulfide from aqueous solutions containing various cadmium complexes onto a glass-ceramic substrate by thiourea under conditions of spontaneous nucleation and interfacial area control. The elemental composition and morphology of the resultant films were examined, on this basis their nanostructure nature was confirmed, taking into account the data on crystallite size analysis.
