Size- and Surface-Dependent Solubility of Cadmium Telluride in Aqueous Solutions

Size- and Surface-Dependent Solubility of Cadmium Telluride in Aqueous Solutions

Due to the toxicity of cadmium (Cd) and the scarcity of telluride (Te), CdTe-based photovoltaic modules have been under discussion during the last few years. In particular, the stability of CdTe in aqueous solutions is under debate. Here we show that the stability of CdTe depends not only on the pH...
