Composites comprising CdS nanoparticles and poly(ethylene oxide): optical properties and influence of the nanofiller content on the thermal behaviour of the host matrix

Tri-n-octylphosphine oxide-capped CdS nanoparticles were synthesized with the cadmium(II) complex of thiocarbohydrazide as a precursor. Nanocomposites were prepared by mixing a toluene solution of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and the obtained CdS nanoparticles. The ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy measurements showed a blue shift of the onset of optical absorption, compared to bulk CdS, which confirmed the presence of nanostructured CdS. A transmission electron microscopy micrograph of the nanocomposite depicted that the nanoparticles are well dispersed in the PEO matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed hindered crystallization of PEO in the presence of CdS nanoparticles. It was also found that increasing the nanoparticle content led to the shift of the onset of decomposition of the matrix towards higher temperature.     

Effect of the Spherical Silica Surface on the Photoluminescence of the Loaded CdS Nanoparticles

CdS nanoparticles were formed on the surface of silica microspheres by the improved layer‐by‐layer self‐assembled technique. High‐resolution electron microscope (HRTEM) image and energy dispersive x‐ray analysis (EDX) confirmed formation of a quasi‐continuous CdS nanoparticles film on the silica microspheres. The results of UV‐vis and fluorescence spectra display that the spherical silica surface has a great effect on the photoluminescence of the loaded CdS nanoparticles. In contrast to the CdS nanoparticles powder, the composite can exhibit the emission ascribed to the band gap transition when the CdS nanoparticles film is relatively thick. This phenomenon is probably due to an enhancement of the crystallinity of CdS nanoparticles induced by the silica spheres.

Fabrication of Luminescent CdS Nanoparticles on Short‐Peptide‐Based Hydrogel Nanofibers: Tuning of Optoelectronic Properties

The pH‐induced self‐assembly of three synthetic tripeptides in water medium is used to immobilize luminescent CdS nanoparticles. These peptides form a nanofibrillar network structure upon gelation in aqueous medium at basic pH values (pH 11.0–13.0), and the fabrication of CdS nanoparticles on the gel nanofiber confers the luminescent property to these gels. Atomic force microscopy, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy clearly reveal the presence of CdS nanoparticles in a well‐defined array on the gel nanofibers. This is a convenient way to make organic nanofiber–inorganic nanoparticle hybrid nanocomposite systems. The size of the CdS nanoparticles remains almost same before and after deposition on the gel nanofiber. Photoluminescence (PL) measurement of the CdS nanoparticles upon deposition on the gel nanofibers shows a significant blue shift in the emission spectrum of the nanoparticles, and there is a considerable change in the PL gap energy of the CdS nanoparticles after immobilization on different gel nanofibrils. This finding suggests that the optoelectronic properties of CdS nanoparticles can be tuned upon deposition on gel nanofibers without changing the size of the nanoparticles.     

Synthesis, surface modification, and multilayer construction of mixed-monolayer-protected CdS nanoparticles

Herein, we describe a study aimed at synthesizing mixed-monolayer-protected CdS nanoparticles and investigating the reactivity of surface-bound functional groups in order to facilitate the immobilization of nanoparticles on a solid substrate as well as the construction of a three-dimensional nanocomposite. CdS nanoparticles initially prepared by the reverse micelle method were used to modify nanoparticle surfaces with 1-decanethiol molecules by ligand exchange. Subsequently, 11-mercapto-1-undecanol was partially incorporated by a place exchange reaction, thereby providing stable, mixed-monolayer-protected CdS nanoparticles. The nanoparticles obtained at each step were characterized by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and elemental analysis. The reactivity of surface hydroxyl groups was verified by a reaction with isocyanate-bearing molecules that provide carbamate bonds in high yields at ambient temperature. The obtained mixed-monolayer-protected nanoparticles were also successfully immobilized on a glass substrate through a carbamate-bond-forming reaction that could be further utilized for multilayer construction in a layer-by-layer fashion.     

Semiconductor nanoparticle/polystyrene latex composite materials

Cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide/cadmium sulfide core/shell nanoparticles stabilized with poly(cysteine acrylamide) have been bound to polystyrene (PS) latexes by three methods. First, anionic 5 nm diameter CdS particles were electrostatically attached to 130 nm surfactant-free cationic PS latexes to form stable dispersions when the amount of CdS particles was less than 10% of the amount required to form a monolayer on the surface of the PS particles or when the amount of CdS particles exceeded the amount required to form a monolayer on the PS particles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed nanoparticles on the surface of the latex particles. Fluorescence spectra showed unchanged emission from the nanoparticles. Second, anionic, surfactant-free PS latexes were synthesized in the presence of CdS and CdSe/CdS nanoparticles. TEM showed monodisperse latex particles with trapped nanoparticles. Third, surfactant-stabilized latexes were synthesized by copolymerization of styrene with vinylbenzyl(trimethyl)ammonium chloride electrostatically bound to the CdSe/CdS nanoparticle surface. Brownian motion of the submicroscopic composite particles in water was detected by fluorescence microscopy.

Chemically binding Eu^3＋ onto CdS semiconductor nanoparticle surface

Europium ions were chemically bound to CdS nanoparticles surface by diethylenetri-aminepentaacetate (DTPA, 1) in a two-step synthetic route. First 1 was applied to chelate with cadmium on the surface of cadmium-rich CdS nanoparticles and act as a capping agent. Further, the purified 1-capped particles were used to bind with Eu~3 . The purified and redispersed particles were characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy, TEM and SEM. It was observed that Eu~3 on the nanoparticle surface significantly increased the band gap emission and decreased the surface emission intensity of the CdS nanoparticles.     

Nanoparticle formation in water-in-oil microemulsions: experiments, mechanism, and Monte Carlo simulation

The dynamics of nanoparticle formation in water-in-oil microemulsions via temporal size evolution has been followed from UV-visible absorption spectra of CdS nanoparticles. Existing Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of nanoparticle formation are primarily based on the mechanism of nuclei formation and their growth by coalescence-exchange of drops, which alone do not predict particles of large size as observed in some experiments. Hence, we have included an additional size enlargement process, namely coagulation of nanoparticles during drop coalescence. We find that particle coagulation, constrained by microemulsion drop size, shows very good agreement with our experimental data on CdS nanoparticle size evolution, for different drop sizes. Thus a combined approach of spectroscopy and MC simulation is helpful in elucidating the mechanism of nanoparticle formation in these confined systems, leading to prediction of size-controlled nanoparticle synthesis.
