Structural and optical characterization of CdS/TiO2 nanocomposite

A Study of Optical Properties of Green Synthesized ZnO/CdS Core/Shell Nanopins for Photosensor Application

“…In the Fig 3 (c), the peaks of Cadmium(Cd), Sulphur (S) and the presence of Zinc(Zn), Oxygen(O) were separately found. Therefore, similar results were obtained for the presence of elements from XRD and the EDX spectra [13][14][15][16] . Fig 4 (A), the images of the ZnO nanopins were found with an average diameter of 5 nm and a length of 21 to 27nm with smooth surface.…”

Gwyddion: an open-source software for SPM data analysis

“…Micro-and nanoparticles are used in many fields of research and technology. They can be characterized using different methods including optical [11] and x-ray scattering [12] or using different microscopies [13]. Nanoparticles are also often measured using AFM [14].…”

Light Scattering Amplification on Dye Sensitized Solar Cells Assembled by Hollyhock-shaped CdS-TiO2Composites

“…Although the PL properties of CdS nano-crystals have been widely studied, those of CdS nanoparticles have not. Two studies 9,13 found that the weak infrared PL band arises from the electron transition from the surface states to the valence band of CdS nanorods. In our study, however, the band was not determined due to the deferent morphology of the hollyhock-like particles.…”

“…CdS was prepared using a conventional hydrothermal treatment as described in the literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] To prepare the sol mixture, sodium sulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 3 ·5H 2 O 99.9%, Junsei Chemical, Japan) and cadmium chloride (Cd(Cl) 3 ·2.5H 2 O, 99.9%, Junsei Chemical, Japan) were used as the S and Cd precursors, respectively.…”
