Synthesis of lead containing zinc selenide semiconducting films has been carried out through electrochemical codeposition technique and compared with the photoelectrochemical characteristics of zinc selenide synthesized and tested under similar experimental conditions. The inclusion of lead affects significantly the characteristics of zinc selenide. Photoaction spectral studies have been carried out for the measurement of the band gap of zinc selenide and lead containing zinc selenide films. Capacitance measurements and current–voltage behavior in dark and under illumination have also been used for their characterization. The lead containing zinc selenide films exhibit relatively improved quality in terms of enhanced photoresponse but inclusion of higher concentration of lead cause decrease in the stability of deposited films. However addition of cetyl pyridinium chloride in small concentration stabilizes these deposited films and decreases their corrosion rate.
