Properties and Usage:
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is a yellow to orange-red light-resistant and chemical-resistant semiconductor material.
1. Highly durable pigments
Pigment manufacturing: Cadmium sulfide is ideal for making "cadmium yellow" pigments because of its bright, long-lasting color. Suitable for coloring materials such as paint, ceramics, glass and plastics that require high heat resistance and weather resistance.
2. Optoelectronics and electronic devices
Optoelectronic materials: Cadmium sulfide, as a direct band gap semiconductor, is the core material in photoresistors, photodetectors, LEDs and thin film solar cells, and has efficient photoelectric conversion properties.
3. Thin film solar cells
Solar cell components: In thin-film solar cells, cadmium sulfide and cadmium telluride (CdTe) are used together to significantly improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and promote the development of environmentally friendly energy.
4. Sensors and detection
Photosensitive sensor: Cadmium sulfide has outstanding performance in the fields of industrial automation and environmental monitoring. It is suitable for use in light detectors and gas sensors. It can effectively detect environmental changes and ensure safety and accuracy.
Storage conditions: Keep the container sealed, stored in a cool, dry place, and ensure that the workplace has good ventilation or exhaust devices
Packing: This product is packed in 25kg cardboard drums, and it can also be customized according to customers' requirements
