Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is a bright yellow inorganic compound that is a semiconductor material. It occurs naturally as the mineral greenockite. It is synthesized by reacting cadmium salts with sulfide salts, resulting in the precipitation of CdS. CdS is a versatile material with various applications. It is used as a pigment in paints, as a photoconductor in solar cells, and as a phosphor in fluorescent lamps. It also finds applications in optical filters, sensors, and lasers. The material is widely studied due to its unique properties, including its high refractive index, its ability to absorb light in the visible spectrum, and its potential for use in optoelectronic devices. Cadmium sulfide is also being investigated for its potential use in the development of new solar energy technologies.'
