Abstract

PEC behavior of the tetrahedral metal-cluster chalcogenides, GaMo₄S₈ and ZnMo₂Re₂S₈ in the polycrystalline form have been examined. The photoresponse behavior is attributed to the Mo d-d transition with n-type behavior. These compounds are found to give photoresponse in aq. acidic and alkaline solutions and also in I₂ I^- and Fe(CN)6^{4- 3-} redox electrolytes. Detailed photoresponse behavior and quantum efficiency measurements have been made. But the PEC properties of GaMo₄S₈ and ZnMo₂Re₂S₈ are not found to be very encouraging.
