“…They may further prove to be more advantageous than their bulk counterparts, which are currently employed in photocatalytic applications for detoxification of air and water, and promotion of organic reactions, such as the photoaddition of cyclopentene to a Schiff base [21]. To date, CdS has been synthesized as nanoparticles, colloids, crystals, nanoclusters, nanorods, nanowires, gels, and thin films [22][23][24][25]. However, the formation of a CdS aerogel has not been reported.…”
