The residue was collected and reused to deposit cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films on glass substrate by thermal evaporation. The films were subsequently annealed in vacuum at 250 �C, 350 �C and 420 �C for 40 min. The structural and optical properties were characterized by XRD, SEM, and UV�Vis spectrometry. All the films were found to exhibit high transmittance (over 70 to 90%). The optical band gap energy was found to be in the range of 2.28�2.37 eV, which is very suitable to be used as buffer or window for CdTe or CIGS thin film solar cells. � 2018 Elsevier Ltd Final 2023-05-29T06:51:01Z 2023-05-29T06:51:01Z 2018 Article 10.1016/j.solener.2018.07.031 2-s2.0-85050459127 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85050459127&doi=10.1016%2fj.solener.2018.07.031&partnerID=40&md5=7d15f228fe7d72a965b2abd02473be51 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/23683 173 120 125 Elsevier Ltd Scopus |
