Synthesis of CdS nanocrystals by a microwave activated method and investigation of the photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties

We have synthesized CdS nanocrystals (NCs) by a microwave activated method. CdSO₄ and Na₂S₂O₃ were used as the precursors and thioglycolic acid (TGA) was used as capping agent molecule. The aqueous synthesis was based on the heat sensitivity of Na₂S₂O₃. In this method, microwave irradiation creates the activation energy for dissociation of Na₂S₂O₃ and leads to the CdS NCs formation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses demonstrated hexagonal phase CdS NCs with an average size around 3 nm for sample prepared at 5 min irradiation time. A band gap range of 3.38-2.89 eV was possible only by increasing the microwave irradiation time, corresponding to a 2.7-3.7 nm size. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra showed a white emission between 400 and 750 nm. The best attained PL quantum yield (QY) of the NCs was about 10%. Synthesized NCs were used as emissive layer in a light emitting device (LED) with ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK/CdS-NCs/AL structure. Turn on voltage of fabricated device was about 7 V. The CIE color coordinate of the LED at (0.34, 0.43) demonstrated a near white light LED with an emission on green-yellow boundary of white.     

A facile strategy for the fabrication of uniform CdS nanowires with high yield and its controlled morphological growth with the assistance of PEG in hydrothermal route

A series of novel wurtzite cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanowires with uniform diameter were synthesized by using a rapid and simple solvothermal route. CdS nano structures with certain morphology could be selectively produced by only varying the concentration of poly ethylene glycol (PEG) as a surfactant in the reaction system with cadmium acetate, sulphur powder and ethelynediamine (EDA). We extensively studied UV-vis absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectra after confirming CdS nanowires with diameter 24-25 nm and length ranging up to several nano meters by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Therefore we may definitely propose a new formation mechanism of CdS nanowires assisted by PEG with its illustrating optical properties.     

CdS thin films growth by fast evaporation with substrate rotation

CdS thin films were grown by fast evaporation technique combined with substrate rotation. The source evaporation temperature was maintained at 600 °C and the substrate temperature at 350 °C with background pressure of 1.0 m Torr. The substrates were corning glass 2947 with dimension of 1 in. × 1 in. rotate at 500 rpm during the growth. In order to verify the quality of the CdS films, the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical measurements. The films shown a flat uniformity thickness with growth rate of ∼3.5 nm/s, the orientation was in the cubic-(1 1 1) and hexagonal-(0 0 2) plane in dependence of the growth time, grain size ∼5 nm, roughness uniformity ∼2.7 nm, transmittance in the visible region spectrum ∼80%, energy band gap between 2.39 and 2.42 eV and short circuit photocurrent density (J_SC) losses in the CdS films of 4.7 mA/cm².     

Preparation and optical properties of blue-emitting colloidal CdS nanocrystallines by the solvothermal process using poly (ethylene oxide) as the stabilizer

Blue-emitting colloidal CdS nanocrystals have been synthesized through the solvothermal reaction of cadmium acetate and thiourea in N,N-dimethylformamide using poly(ethylene oxide; PEO) as the stabilizing polymer. The as-prepared CdS colloids were stable at ambient conditions for several weeks. The PEO-stabilized CdS colloids showed a narrow fluorescence band with the maximum at about 420 nm and thus emitting blue fluorescence under the ultraviolet (UV) lamp. A common red shift of fluorescence band is not detected for the prepared CdS colloids in the study, indicating that PEO-stabilized CdS NCs possess few crystalline defects on their surface. In addition, transmission electron microscope micrographs reveal that the sizes of CdS NCs are between 4.4 to 5.4 nm with small standard deviations from 0.5 to 0.7 nm. The particle growth kinetics was studied by monitoring UV-visible absorption onsets versus the reaction time and was found to nearly follow the Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner theory for the Ostwald ripening mechanism.

Photoluminescence from CdS Quantum Dots in Silica Gel

CdS semiconductor nanocrystals were grown as quantum dots (QDs) inside a silica matrix obtained by the sol-gelmethod and assisted in the mother liquid by high powerultrasounds. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) accountsfor a 3.6 nm crystal size homogeneously distributed. Optical excitation from the third harmonic of a Nd:YAG ns laser wasfocused on the sample to study the photoluminescence (PL) atroom temperature. The PL spectrum shows radiative processfrom intrinsic transitions and a broad band corresponding tothe traps. Variable stripe length (VSL) method was used to measure the optical gain spectra by the growth of theamplified luminescence. A broad optical gain spectrumproduced by the biexciton-exciton transitions revealing thestimulated emission from the CdS QDs. It is also observed ared-shift of the PL emission crystal size-dependent.     

Photovoltammetric behavior and photoelectrochemical determination of p-phenylenediamine on CdS quantum dots and graphene hybrid film

A photoelectroactive film composed of CdS quantum dots and graphene sheets (GS) was coated on F-doped SnO₂ (FTO) conducting glass for studying the electrochemical response of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) under photoirradiation. The result indicated that the cyclic voltammogram of PPD on CdS–GS hybrid film became sigmoidal in shape after exposed under visible light, due to the photoelectrocatalytic reaction. Such a photovoltammetric response was used to rapidly optimize the photoelectrocatalytic activity of hybrid films composed of different ratios of CdS to GS toward PPD. The influences of scan rate and pH on the photovoltammetric behavior of PPD on CdS–GS film revealed that although the controlled step for electrochemical process was not changed under photoirradiation, more electrons than protons might participate the photoelectrocatalytic process. Furthermore, the photoelectroactive CdS–GS hybrid film was explored for PPD determination based on the photocurrent response of film toward PPD. Under optimal conditions, the photocurrent signal on CdS–GS film was linearly proportional to the concentration of PPD ranging from 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 3.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, with a detection limit (3S/N) of 4.3 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. Our work based on CdS–GS hybrid film not only demonstrated a new facile photovoltammetric way to study the photoinduced electron transfer process of PPD, but also developed a sensitive photoelectrochemical strategy for PPD determination.     

Fluorescence detection of adenosine-5′-triphosphate and alkaline phosphatase based on the generation of CdS quantum dots

We have developed an analytical method to detect adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) based on the generation of CdS quantum dots (QDs). We demonstrated that Cd²⁺ cation reacts with S²⁻ anion to generate fluorescent CdS QDs in the presence of some certain amount of ATP. With increase in the ATP concentration, the fluorescence intensity of CdS QDs was also enhanced. ATP can be converted into adenosine by the dephosphorylation of ALP, so that the generation of CdS QDs would be inhibited in the presence of ALP. Therefore, this novel analysis system could be applied to assay ATP and ALP based on the growth of fluorescent CdS QDs.
