• situ synthesis and deposition of QDs by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) or successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method leads to the direct growth of QDs onto the electrode material surface by the chemical reaction of respective ionic species [48][49][50]. In order to understand the

• successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method have been studied as a function of the CdS deposition cycle number (N). The incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) passes through a maximum with the increase of N, which is ascribed to the competition between the increase in
