Preparation of CdS nanowires by the decomposition of the complex in the presence of microwave irradiation

Influence of different solvents on the structural, optical and morphological properties of CdS nanoparticles

“…Development of morphology-controlled synthesis methodologies is of great interest in materials chemistry [1]. The synthesis of binary metal chalcogenides of group II-VI semiconductors has been the focus of recent scientific research due to their important non-linear optical properties, luminescent properties, quantum size effect and other important physical and chemical properties [2].…”

A simple and environmentally friendly method of preparing sulfide photocatalyst

“…Slow addition of Na 2 S (Arora et al, 1998;Reber and Meier, 1984;Shangguan and Yoshida, 2002) and bubbling H 2 S through an aqueous precursor solutions (Arora et al, 1998;Boev et al, 2006;Dag et al, 2003) are widely used. Other methods include coprecipitation (Koca and Sahin, 2002;Tsamouras et al, 1999), microwave irradiation method (He et al, 2002;Murugan et al, 2005;Zhu et al, 2002), and hydrothermal method (Wang et al, 2006;Xua et al, 2007;Yitai et al, 1995). However, for the preparation of the I-III-VI 2 /II-VI mulitcomponent system, few papers can be found in the open literature.…”

Directionally dendritic growth of metal chalcogenide crystals via mild template-free solvothermal method

“…Further more, Single HgS (cinnabar) crystal is a famous natural chiral crystal and expected to be used for stereochemical reactions [12]. Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of metal chalcogenide of various morphologies, such as rods [13], wires [14], tubes [15], etc., with various techniques and methods involving microwave synthesis [16], sonasynthesis [17] and electrochemical deposition [18] and so on. The formation of spatial patterns of metal chalcogenide is of special interest because subtle influencing factors may result in completely different crystal shape.…”
