核/壳结构ZnS : Mn/CdS纳米粒子的制备及发光

利用溶剂热法制备了Mn离子掺杂的ZnS纳米粒子(ZnS : Mn),利用沉淀法对ZnS ∶ Mn纳米粒子进行了不同厚度的CdS无机壳层包覆。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)及光致发光(PL)光谱等手段对样品进行了表征。TEM显示粒子为球形,直径大约在14~18 nm之间。由XRD结果可以看出CdS壳层的形成过程受到了ZnS ∶ Mn核的影响,导致其结晶较差。XRD和XPS测量证明了ZnS : Mn/CdS的核壳结构。随着CdS壳层的增厚,样品的发光强度呈现一直减弱的现象。     

CdS/ZnS core–shell nanoparticles in arachidic acid LB films

Core–shell CdS/ZnS nanoparticles in arachidic acid film were prepared through a novel Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) approach. Post-deposition treatment of the precursor LB multilayers of cadmium arachidate with H₂S gas followed by intercalation of Zn²⁺ ions and further sulfidation result in the formation of CdS/ZnS nanoparticles in the LB film. The formation of these nanoparticles and resulting changes in layered structures were studied by FTIR and X-ray reflection measurements. The optical properties were studied using UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. A red-shift in the absorption spectrum and enhancement of CdS excitonic emission together with reduction of surface states emission suggest that after the intercalation step, a thin layer of ZnS surrounds the CdS nanoparticles, thus forming a core–shell structure. Subsequent to the second sulfidation, a further red-shift in absorption suggests the formation of a thicker ZnS coating on CdS. Electron diffraction of CdS nanoparticles coated with thicker ZnS showed the diffraction patterns of only ZnS, as expected for core–shell structures.

CdS/ZnO纳米复合结构制备及荧光特性研究

为增强CdS纳米粒子的荧光强度,以及稳定性,研究了Cd,S不同质量比,有无稳定剂等条件下CdS纳米粒子的制备及荧光特性。在碱性条件下,利用水热法合成了CdS/ZnO的纳米复合结构,并对所有样品进行了XRD、荧光光谱和SEM表征。测试结果表明所制备的CdS纳米粒子和CdS/ZnO的纳米复合结构粒子成分单一且纯净;ZnO复合在CdS表面;在紫外光(328.5 nm)激发下,CdS/ZnO纳米复合结构的发射峰位于463 nm处,峰形窄而对称,CdS/ZnO纳米复合结构的荧光强度比CdS纳米粒子的荧光强度有显著增强,且CdS和ZnO物质量之比为1∶1条件下,荧光强度最高,其荧光效率比单一CdS纳米粒子高出11%。通过第一性原理计算结果表明,CdS能带结构中,Cd-4d,S-3p和Cd-5s能带分别由5条、3条和1条能级构成,对比不同轨道的分态密度强度,看出CdS的导带边主要由Cd-5s轨道贡献,而价带边主要由S-3p轨道贡献,能量在-7 eV附近的电子态主要由Cd-4d轨道贡献。而ZnO上价带主要由O-2p电子构成,靠近费米能级的价带区域则主要由Zn-3d电子贡献,在导带部分,主要来源于Zn-4s和O-2p电子。由于在两种材料的复合结构中Zn-3d电子的能级和S-3p电子的能级接近,存在着二型带阶结构使能带变窄,容易形成跃迁,减小电子-空穴的复合,从而促进复合结构荧光效率的提高。     

Synthesis, microstructure, and photocatalysis of ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure

ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure with flower-like morphology is fabricated by a facile two-step precipitation method for use in photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy, demonstrating that the microstructure of the ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure is composed of flower-like ZnO modified by CdS nanoparticles. The photocatalytic performance of ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure is evaluated by the photodegradation of rhodamine B under the simulated sunlight, and the result indicates that the ZnO/CdS nano-heterostructure exhibits an appreciable photocatalytic property, which can be attributed to the extended photo-response range and the increased charge separation rate in the heterostructure.     

CdS/PbS co-sensitized ZnO nanorods and its photovoltaic properties

Nanoparticles co-sensitized nanorods were designed and prepared by assembled CdS and PbS nanoparticles over ZnO nanorods using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The results showed that the uniform CdS and PdS nanoparticles could be deposited on the lateral and top of the ZnO nanorods when the precursor concentration was 0.05 M and 0.02 M, respectively. Solar cells based on CdS and PbS nanoparticles sensitized ZnO nanorods arrays were assembled successfully. A cell efficiency of 0.38% was obtained in ZnO/CdS/PbS in comparison with ZnO/PbS/CdS mainly due to the stepwise band edge structure constructed in this system except the coverage density of nanoparticles.

Preparation and characterization of ZnS/CdS bi-layer for CdTe solar cell application

In this work, bilayer ZnS/CdS film was prepared as an improved window layer of CdTe solar cell. TEM was used to observe the cross section of the bilayer structure. The total thickness of ZnS/CdS film was about 60 nm, which could allow more photons to pass through it and contribute to the photocurrent. Optical properties of the bilayers were investigated using UV–vis spectroscopy. Compared with poor transmission of standard CdS film in the short wavelength range of 350–550 nm, the transmission of ZnS/CdS was improved and reached above 50%. The ZnS/CdS was annealed with CdCl₂. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate its chemical properties. A possible diffusion between CdS and ZnS was observed after annealing. The efficiency of standard CdS/CdTe solar cell was 9.53%. The device based on ZnS/CdS window layer had a poor 6% efficiency. With annealing treatment on ZnS/CdS layer, the performance was improved and reached 10.3%. In addition, the homogeneity of solar cell performance was improved using ZnS/CdS window layer. A thin ZnS layer was quite effective to reduce the possible shunt paths and short parts of window layer and consequently contributed to fabrication of a homogeneous CdTe solar cell.     

Synthesis and characterization of aqueous MPA-capped CdS–ZnS core–shell quantum dots

The novel CdS–ZnS core–shell nanoparticles are synthesized using simple one-step aqueous chemical approach. 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) was used as the capping molecule. The structural and optical properties of the prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and transition electron microscopy (TEM). The studies show that pH contributed noticeably to the growth and optical properties of nanoparticles. The TEM results indicate that the prepared particles have core–shell structure.     

Theory of the photoelastic effect in ZnO,ZnS and CdS crystals

It has been a general opinion that the Clausius-Mossotti dielectric theory is not capable of explaining the observed photoelastic behaviour of partially ionic crystals.However in the present communication we show that by making account of the variation of polarizabilities under compressive stress within the framework of the Clausius-Mossotti theory it is possible to obtain a reasonable agreement with experimental data on the photoelastic behaviour of ZnO, ZnS and CdS crystals.     

Photoluminescence quenching of CdTe/CdS core-shell quantum dots in aqueous solution by ZnO nanocrystals

Photoluminescence (PL) properties of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) coated CdTe/CdS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) in aqueous solution in the presence of ZnO colloidal nanocrystals were studied by steady-state and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. The PL quenching of CdTe/CdS core-shell QDs with addition of purified ZnO nanocrystals resulted in a decrease in PL lifetime and a small red shift of the PL band. It was found that CdTe(1.5 nm)/CdS type II core-shell QDs exhibited higher efficiency of PL quenching than the CdTe(3.0 nm)/CdS type I core-shell QDs, indicating an electron transfer process from CdTe/CdS core-shell QDs to ZnO nanocrystals. The experimental results indicated that the efficient electron transfer process from CdTe/CdS core-shell QDs to ZnO nanocrystals could be controlled by changing the CdTe core size on the basis of the quantum confinement effect.

Synthesis, surface morphology, and optical and structural properties of CdS and ZnS nanoparticles

Synthesis of CdS and ZnS nanoparticles in reverse micelles and organic solvents has been carried out. Particles with a hexagonal structure 2–5 nm in size are formed during synthesis. Maintaining the reaction mixture at room temperature leads to the formation of nanoparticles with a cubic structure 100–150 nm in size. The changes in the optical properties of CdS and ZnS nanoparticles, depending on the synthesis method and conditions and on the precursors used, have been investigated. The luminescence characteristics of local surface defects of nanoparticles depend weakly on nanoparticle sizes. The dependence of the fluorescence and phosphorescence intensity of nanoparticle surface defects on the polarity of surrounding solution is demonstrated; thus, these particles can be used as polarity indicators.

Nonlinear optical characteristics of CdS and ZnS nanoparticles implanted into zirconium oxide thin films

The nonlinear refractive indices γ and nonlinear absorption coefficients of ZrO₂ films doped with CdS or ZnS nanoparticles, as well as with various metals, are measured. The effects of semiconductor and metal nanoparticles and annealing on the nonlinear optical properties of films are studied. The structural parameters of films, determined by electron microscopy and x-ray dispersion spectroscopy, are compared to the optical and nonlinear optical characteristics of these media. The high magnitude of γ of the films ((3±0.6)×10^?11 cm² W^{? 1}) is attributed to the surface enhancement effect in semiconductor nanoparticles. On the basis of Z-scan data obtained at different intensities of radiation, it is shown that the variations in γ of the ZrO₂:CdS(Cr) and ZrO₂:ZnS(Mn) films are related to the generation of free carriers.

The study of structure and optoelectronic properties of ZnS and ZnO films on porous silicon substrates

ZnS and ZnO films were prepared on porous silicon (PS) substrates with the same porosity by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and the structural, optical and electrical properties of ZnS and ZnO films on PS were investigated at room temperature by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), optical absorption measurement, photoluminescence (PL) and I–V characteristic studies. The prepared ZnS was obtained in the cubic phase along β-ZnS (1 1 1) orientation which showed a perfect match with the earlier report while ZnO films were obtained in c-axis orientation. There appeared some cracks in the surface of ZnS and ZnO films due to the roughness of PS substrates. Luminescence studies of ZnS/PS and ZnO/PS composites indicated room temperature emission in a broad, intense, visible photoluminescence band, which cover the blue emission to red emission, exhibiting intensively white light emission. Based on the I–V characteristic, ZnS/PS heterojunction exhibited the rectifying junction behavior, while the I–V characteristic of ZnO/PS heterostructure was different from that of the common diode, whose reverse current was not saturated.
