Abstract: | It was found that ZnO nanocrystals have photocatalytic activity in the formation of CdS during the reduction of sulfur in the presence of cadmium acetate. It was shown that mesoporous spheres measuring 150–170 nm and consisting of CdS/ZnO particles measuring 5–8 nm are formed during the irradiation of ZnO particles measuring 5.5 nm. During the photodeposition of CdS by the action of light on nanorods produced by ultrasonic treatment of microcrystalline zinc oxide nanotubes of CdS 0.5–0.8 μm in length and 15–110 nm in internal diameter are formed. A mechanism, in which they appear at the ends of the ZnO nanorods and grow on the surface of the CdS/ZnO heterojunction, is proposed for the formation of the CdS nanotubes. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 4, pp. 215–219, July–August, 2007. |
