Microstructures of electrodeposited CdS layers

Synthesis and characterization of a quaternary nanocomposite based on TiO2/CdS/rGO/Pt and its application in the photoreduction of CO2 to methane under visible light

“…The broadening of the basal peak at 25 and increase in intensity of the peak at 44 indicate the presence of the CdS nanoparticles, which were also observed by other techniques, as discussed in the next section. [53][54][55] The presence of titanium dioxide nanoparticles was also conrmed by Raman spectroscopy, as shown in Fig. This result is likely a consequence of the synthesis of CdS nanoparticles in conjunction with TiO 2 , which primarily contributes to the formation of anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles.…”

Electrospun nanofibers of TiO2/CdS heteroarchitectures with enhanced photocatalytic activity by visible light

“…4b-d, Raman spectra of the coupling semiconductors exhibit dominant bands for CdS particles. Concretely, the band at 300 cm À1 is assigned to the first-order longitudinal optic phonon (1LO), and the peak at 600 cm À1 is presented to the second-order longitudinal optic phonon (2LO) of CdS [21]. Moreover, the intensities of the 1LO are stronger than those of the 2LO for all of the samples.…”

Characterization of chemical bath deposited CdS thin films at different deposition temperature

“…Various techniques such as vacuum evaporation [6], sputtering [7], molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [8], metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) [9], close-spaced sublimation (CSS) [10], spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) [11], electrodeposition [12], successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) [13] and chemical bath deposition (CBD) [14][15][16] have been reported for the preparation of CdS films. Among these, chemical bath deposition (CBD) has become the favored route because of its simpleness, low cost, scaleablity and reproducibility [17].…”
