Development of CdS nanorods of high aspect ratio under hydrothermal conditions with PEG template (original) (raw)
2011, Journal of Crystal Growth
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) one dimensional (1D) nanocrystals were prepared using a polyethylene glycol (PEG) assisted hydrothermal synthesis. X-ray diffraction result confirms that the nanorods are of hexagonal structure and the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) identifies the single crystalline nature of the sample. The sample was systematically characterized by UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL) spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermal analysis. The UV-vis absorption spectrum indicates the narrow size distribution of the CdS nanorods. The absorption band edge is seen shifted to 505 nm than the bulk material and the corresponding band gap is found to be 2.45 eV. The PL emission peak is detected around 550 nm. From SEM and EDX analysis, the morphology of the aggregates and the composition of the obtained product are identified. The TEM micrographs indicate that the CdS nanorods exhibit well defined morphology and high crystalline quality with narrow size distribution of lengths and widths. The TG/DTA traces of the nanopowder show four major stages of weight loss.

One dimensional semiconductor nanorods of CdSe were successfully synthesized by solvothermal method using hydrazine hydrate (HH) and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as complexing agents. The average diameter of nanorods was found to be around 30 nm and 40 nm from XRD analysis. Thus there is a strong blue-shift in the absorption spectra for both the samples HH and EDTA capped CdSe, indicating that particles must be smaller than the exciton Bohr radius. The emission peak (PL) observed at 560 and 562 nm is attributed to the recombination of charge carriers on the surface of the nanorods.
Optical, Structural and Morphological Study of CdS Nanoparticles: Role of Sulphur Source
Nanomaterials and Energy
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles were synthesized by using a simple and low-cost home-made hot-injection method at a low process temperature using different sulfur (S) sources. The effects of sulfur concentration on the structural, morphological and optoelectronic properties of the synthesized cadmium sulfide films were studied using a range of characterization techniques: X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. The XRD studies revealed the formation of hexagonal-type cadmium sulfide nanoparticles. The varying morphology dependence on the sulfur source was ascertained from FESEM analysis. The longitudinal optical phonon vibrational modes of cadmium sulfide were assigned in Raman spectra at 300 and 600 cm−1. The bandgap of the cadmium sulfide particles was estimated to be 2·30 eV from Tauc’s plots. Consistent with the experimental results, this study’s first-principles density functional...
