Abstract CdMnS is an important class of dilute magnetic semiconductor material. It is reported that the CdMnS thin film have been used in photoelectrochemical cell. CdMnS dilute magnetic semiconductor thin films are synthesized on both glass and stainless steel substrates using a chemical bath deposition method CBD. The deposition parameters such as growth temperature, time, pH of bath solution, concentrations of precursor, etc., were optimized to obtain device grade and good oriented polycrystalline films. The layer thickness was found to be dependent on Mn2+ concentration . Composition of the as-grown films was determined by an EDAX technique. The electrochemical cells were fabricated by using the as deposited films of CdMnS of different composition as the active photoelectrodes, an electrolyte and a counter electrode. The cells were then characterized for their dark and illumination properties. different cell parameters such as Voc,Isc, FF, Rs,Rsh, ? , nd and ?B were determined from these experiment and the cell performance has been assess with a reference of Mn2+ concentration in CdS.
