ABSTRACT:
A photovoltaic system comprising a Cd(Se,Te) alloy junction forming material.
A process of preparing a thin layer of the alloy by electrodeposition and by application of a slurry of the alloy to a substrate which is then annealed at an elevated temperature.
The junction forming material finds particular application in photoelectrochemical cell systems; particularly those containing S/S.sup.= electrolytes. Electrodes formed of the inventive materials exhibit increased efficiency and improved stability.
