Structural and Optical Characterization of CdS Nanoparticles Grown in Different Solvents

Abstract

In the present work a chemical method is followed to grow CdS nanoparticles at room temperature by varying the growth time as well as solvents. Anhydrous CdCl2, Sulphur powder,sodium borohydride powders are used as reactants. The reactions are carried out in variety of solvents and the effect of the solvent on the product quality is investigated. The room temperature synthesis produces high quality nanocrystals as revealed by electron microscopy, optical and photoluminescence measurements. Particle size increases with increase of growth time in both medium. It is observed that nanoparticles are less agglomerated in medium EDA compared to THF. The structural and optical properties show quantum confinement of CdS grown in medium THF and EDA.
