Abstract: In this work we study the optical response <strong>of</strong> large area graphene electrochemically<br />

integrated with light-sensitive semiconductors. Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene is<br />

transferred onto a suitable substrate such as glass or silicon wafer. Two- point resistance <strong>of</strong><br />

graphene is measured with and without a layer <strong>of</strong> electrodeposited CdS. We find that, in the<br />

presence <strong>of</strong> CdS, appreciable photoconductivity is induced in graphene. The hybrid-device is<br />

observed to respond to light at a much faster timescale compared to the characteristic<br />

photodesorption curves <strong>of</strong> bare graphene. We explore various avenues <strong>of</strong> integrating this growth<br />

technique with solar cell architectures.
