Abstract:The kinetics of thiourea synthesis of CdS nanoparticles (NPs) in reverse microemulsions of Tergitol Np-4/n-decane was studied in the temperature range of 313-333 K by spectrophotometry, photon-correlation spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The formation of NPs is described by the kinetic model, including two consecutive steps: homogeneous nucleation in a solution as the first step and the autocatalytic growth of NPs due to heterogeneous reaction on a continuously increasing surface as the seco… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
