title: Simultaneous polarographic determination of cadmium and tellurium in electro-deposited cadmium telluride thin films.
abstract: A polarographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of cadmium and tellurium in thin-film cadmium telluride. The procedure involves dissolution of the film with concentrated nitric acid, which is subsequently removed by evaporation. The Cd(II) and Te(IV) waves are well separated at pH 10, but sufficient ammonia must be present to prevent the precipitation of cadmium hydroxide.
