Cadmium sulfide, a poor partner for selenium tandem solar cells A Danish-German research team has shown that using cadmium sulfide as an n-type partner in heterojunction tandem solar cells based on ...

Zinc sulfide exists in two crystalline forms: a cubic form with the zincblende structure (the most common form in nature, occurring as the rather common mineral sphalerite) and a hexagonal form, which ...

A team of scientists has found a way to slow energy leaks that have impeded the use of tiny nanocrystals in light-driven chemical and energy applications.

A US research team has developed a cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cell through a lift-off method that reportedly ensures higher crystallinity of the cadmium sulfide film. The device has a power ...

The Army sprayed coastal Texas with zinc cadmium sulfide in the 1960s, and residents in Corpus Christi later described cancer deaths and other illnesses. In 1995, people from Corpus Christi, Taft, ...

During the 1950s and '60s, the U.S. Army dusted chosen American cities from coast to coast with a fine powder of a fluorescent, potentially toxic chemical. And now one scientist says, at least in the ...

"By drying out the soil, we're sort of putting the brakes on the microorganisms that breathe with iron oxides and with arsenic," Seyfferth said. "Then we actually increase the amount of cadmium ...

Even though cadmium is considered a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, it is still used to give some plastics and ceramics red, orange, or yellow hues. That’s ...
