title = "New Approach to Synthesizing the CdO/por-CdS/CdS Heterostructure",
abstract = "This study presents a new approach to synthesizing the CdO/por-CdS/CdS heterostructure to improve solar energy conversion. We achieved a heterostructure with unique morphological and crystalline features by utilizing an anodic and cathodic processing method in an acidic solution followed by oxygen annealing. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed a complex surface topology combining elliptical and circular pores, providing a substantial active surface area. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed the elemental composition, indicating the presence of CdS and CdO or CdSO phases. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) allowed us to discern the crystallinity of CdS and the potential amorphous nature of the CdO layer. The intricate design of the heterostructure facilitates efficient light absorption, charge separation, and electron transport, which is critical for solar energy devices. This research contributes to developing photovoltaics and photocatalysis, presenting a heterostructure that leverages the synergistic properties of CdS and CdO for improved solar energy conversion.",
