One-Step Electrodeposition of Hybrid Semiconductive CdSe/Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots Thin Films.

ABSTRACT: Novel hybrid semiconducting thin films comprising CdSe with the addition of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) were developed onto titanium substrates using a one-step electrocodeposition technique. The deposition took place using an acidic aqueous electrolytic bath containing hydrothermally produced ΝCDs under direct and pulse current regime. The specimens were studied using XRD, SEM-EDS, and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques to determine their microstructural characteristics, surface morphology and composition and the energy gap, respectively. Their photochemical behavior was studied utilizing a photoelectrochemical cell (PEC). Variations in physical properties, along with significantly improved photoelectrochemical responses, were observed for the NCD-infused semiconductive thin films compa
