N2 - High efficiency (12.7%) CdSe0.68Te0.32/cesium polysulfide photoelectrochemical cells are demonstrated in this work. Crystals of the ternary alloy Cd(Se, Te) of type n type were synthesized by the traveling heater method. The nature of the polysulfide electrolyte, based on Cs polysulfide without excess hydroxide and containing small amounts of copper ions, is shown to be of particular importance in determining the cell efficiency. Reasonable output stability of the cell was obtained under accelerated tests.
