Summary: A controlled fabrication of rod‐like nanostructures of cadmium sulfide (CdS) incorporated into polymer fiber matrices has been developed by an electrospinning method. Here, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as a polymer capping reagent, utilizing the interactions of cadmium ions with the carbonyl groups in the PVP molecules. The formation of CdS nanorods inside the PVP was carried out via the reaction of Cd2+ with H2S. SEM images showed that the electrospun films of PVP/CdS are composed of fibers with a diameter between 100 and 900 nm. TEM proved that most of the CdS nanorods are incorporated in the PVP fibrous film. The diameter of the rod is about 50 nm and the length is from 100 to 300 nm.

The ternary semiconductor CdIn(2)S(4) nanorods were synthesized by a method based on CdS nanorods via the hydrothermal route, in which CdS nanorods were converted by reaction with InCl(3) and thiourea in aqueous solution. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed that the typical sizes of the CdIn(2)S(4) nanorods were 10-30 nm in diameter and 200-1000 nm in length. X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) analysis of the surface stoichiometry (CdIn(2.03)S(4.15)) and room-temperature Raman spectrum (RS) were recorded. The influences of reaction temperature, time, and sulfur sources on the formation for CdIn(2)S(4) nanorods were investigated. A possible formation mechanism of the CdIn(2)S(4) nanorods was also proposed. 相似文献
We have synthesized nanoparticles of hexagonal CdS in the diameter range 3-13 nm by the reaction of cadmium acetate dihydrate with thioacetamide in imidazolium [BMIM]-based ionic liquids. We have obtained three different particle sizes of CdS by changing the anion of the ionic liquid. Addition of trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) to the reaction mixture causes greater monodispersity as well as smaller particle size, while addition of ethylenediamine produces nanorods of 7 nm average diameter. Hexagonal ZnS and cubic PbS nanoparticles with average diameters of 3 and 10 nm, respectively, have been prepared by the reaction of the metal acetates with thioacetamide in [BMIM][BF4]. Hexagonal CdSe nanoparticles with an average diameter 12 nm were obtained by the reaction of cadmium acetate dihydrate with dimethylselenourea in [BMIM][BF4]. In this case also we observe the same effect of the addition of TOPO as in the case of CdS. Addition of ethylenediamine to the reaction mixture gives rise to nanorods. ZnSe nanowires with a cubic structures, possible diameters in the range 70-100 nm by the reaction of zinc acetate dihydrate with dimethylselenourea in [BMIM][MeSO4]. The nanostructures obtained are single crystalline in all the cases. Most of the nanostructures show characteristic UV/Vis absorption and photoluminescence emission spectra. The thermodynamically most stable structures are generally produced in the synthesis carried out in ionic liquids. 相似文献
ZnO nanorod thin films of different thicknesses and CdS quantum dots have been prepared by chemical method. X-ray diffraction pattern reveals that the CdS quantum dot and ZnO nanorods are of hexagonal structure. Field emission scanning electron microscope images show that the diameter of hexagonal shaped ZnO nanorods ranges from 110 to 200 nm and the length of the nanorod vary from 1.3 to 4.7 μm. CdS quantum dots with average size of 4 nm have been deposited onto ZnO nanorod surface using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method and the assembly of CdS quantum dot with ZnO nanorod has been used as photo-electrode in quantum dot sensitized solar cells. The efficiency of the fabricated CdS quantum dot-sensitized ZnO nanorod-based solar cell is 1.10 % and is the best efficiency reported so far for this type of solar cells. 相似文献
