The role of the surface ligand in the optical properties of CdS quantum dots in poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix

The synthesis and characterization of CdS nanoparticles prepared in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in situ, to produce a series of CdS/PVA nanocomposite films, is described in this paper. The role of 2-mercaptoethanol as the surface ligand for the nanoparticles has been investigated. Different molar concentrations of the cadmium precursor have also been evaluated, aiming at the preparation of stable aqueous colloidal systems and polymeric films. UV–visible (UV–Vis) and photoluminescence spectroscopies together with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy have been used for characterization of the growth kinetics and the relative stability of CdS nanocrystals in the polymeric matrix. The results clearly indicate the formation of hexagonal CdS nanoparticles embedded in the PVA matrix. PVA was not effective in stabilizing colloidal CdS nanoparticles against aggregation. However, it leads to a displacement of the first optical transition of CdS due to compressive deformation effect. The combination of PVA with 2-mercaptoethanol as surface ligands had a strong effect on the optical properties of the resulting embedded CdS nanoparticles.     

Quantum confinement effects in Gd-doped CdS nanoparticles prepared by chemical precipitation technique

CdS and Gd-doped CdS nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical precipitation technique. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the CdS and Gd-doped CdS nanoparticles exhibit hexagonal structure. The high resolution transmission electron microscope image shows that CdS and Gd-doped CdS nanoparticles have particle size lying in the range of 3.5 to 4.0 nm. Raman spectra show that 1LO, 2LO and 3LO peaks of the Gd-doped CdS nanoparticles are slightly shifted to lower wavenumber side when compared to that of CdS. Optical absorption spectra of Gd-doped CdS nanoparticles shows that absorption edge is slightly shifted towards longer wavelength side (red shift) when compared to that of CdS and this shift is due to the quantum confinement effect present in the samples.     

Effect of Cr-doping on the structural and optical properties of CdS nanoparticles prepared by chemical precipitation method

Undoped and Cr doped CdS nanoparticles have been prepared by chemical precipitation method. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the undoped and Cr doped CdS nanoparticles exhibit hexagonal structure and the average particle size of the nanoparticles is in the range of 2.2–3.8 nm. The HRTEM studies show that the average particle size of undoped and Cr doped CdS nanoparticles is in the range of 2–3.7 nm. The compositional analysis results indicates that Cd, S and Cr are present in the samples. From the optical studies it is observed that the absorption edge of the prepared CdS and Cr doped CdS nanoparticles are shifted towards the shorter wavelength region (blue shift) when compared to that of bulk CdS and this shift is due to the quantum confinement effect present in the samples.     

Effect of heat-treatment on CdS and CdS/ZnS nanoparticles

Mono-dispersed and spherical cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles and cadmium sulfide/zinc sulfide (CdS/ZnS) nanoparticles, 4–5 nm in diameter, were synthesized in a heptane-AOT-water microemulsion system. The heat treatment of CdS and CdS/ZnS nanoparticles was annealed at 570 °C under the air atmosphere. The heat-treated nanoparticles were of variable large sizes and had enhanced crystallinity. UV–Vis spectra of heat-treated CdS and CdS/ZnS nanoparticles revealed a flat shape similar to that of bulk CdS compounds. The difference between the PL emission bands of organic-coated nanoparticles and heat-treated nanoparticles was small. The PL emission energy of heat-treated nanoparticles was improved by about 2–3 times compared with that of organic-coated nanoparticles.     

Preparation and characterization of water-soluble CdS nanocrystals by surface modification of ethylene diamine

The water-soluble CdS nanoparticles were obtained by hydrogen bond between the cadmium-thiolate complex on the surface of CdS nanoparticles and ethylene diamine (anhydrous). The modified CdS nanoparticles enhanced its solubility in H₂O and alcohol. The ethylene diamine-capped CdS nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), photoluminescence (PL) and Ultraviolet–Visible absorption spectrum (UV–Vis spectrum). The absorption peak at 262 nm was observed, which belonged to ethylene diamine-modificated Cd-thiolate complex at the surface of as-grown CdS nanoparticles. The results of the PL spectra indicated that the modification of CdS nanoparticles reduced effectively the local surface-trap states. Based on the above results, a possible mechanism for the formation of the water-soluble CdS nanoparticles was discussed.     

Synthesis of CdS nanoparticles based on DNA network templates

CdS nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by using DNA networks as templates. The synthesis was carried out by first dropping a mixture of cadmium acetate and DNA on a mica surface for the formation of the DNA network template and then transferring the sample into a heated thiourea solution. The Cd(2+) reacted with thiourea at high temperature and formed CdS nanoparticles on the DNA network template. UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence, x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to characterize the CdS nanoparticles in detail. AFM results showed that the resulted CdS nanoparticles were directly aligned on the DNA network templates and that the synthesis and assembly of CdS nanoparticles was realized in one step. CdS nanoparticles fabricated with this method were smaller than those directly synthesized in a thiourea solution and were uniformly aligned on the DNA networks. By adjusting the density of the DNA networks and the concentration of Cd(2+), the size and density of the CdS nanoparticles could be effectively controlled and CdS nanoparticles could grow along the DNA chains into nanowires. The possible growth mechanism has also been discussed in detail.     

A photochemical method for controlling the size of CdS nanoparticles

The optical and electrical properties of semiconductor nanoparticles are strongly dependent on their size. A flexible control of the size of the nanoparticles is of interest for tuning their properties for different applications. Here we use a coupled method to control the size of CdS nanoparticles. The method involves the photochemical growth of CdS nanoparticles together with the use of a capping agent as an inhibiting factor. CdS nanoparticles were formed through a photoinduced reaction of CdSO(4) and Na(2)S(2)O(3) in an aqueous solution. Mercaptoethanol (C(2)H(6)OS) was used as the capping agent, and we investigated the effect of illumination time, illumination intensity and the concentration of capping agent on the nanoparticle size. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows crystalline nanoparticles with relatively low dispersion. Optical absorption spectroscopy was mainly used to measure the band gap and size of the nanoparticles. Increasing the illumination time or illumination intensity increases the nanoparticle size, while higher capping agent concentration leads to smaller nanoparticle size. A band gap range of 2.75-3.4?eV was possible with our experimental conditions, corresponding to a 3.2-6.0?nm size range.     

Structural, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Mn-doped CdS Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor Nanoparticles

Diluted magnetic CdS:Mn nanoparticles were synthesized by the aqueous solution method with different manganese (Mn²⁺) concentrations (x=7?C10?atom?%) at room temperature in nitrogen atmosphere and capped with Thiogelycerol. The X-ray diffraction patterns of CdS nanoparticles with different Mn doping concentration indicated that samples have hexagonal structure at room temperature. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed incorporative of Mn ions in CdS nanoparticles. UV-Visible spectroscopy is used to investigate optical absorption of Mn-doped CdS. From photoluminescence measurement it was found that the intensity of the luminescence spectra decreases by increasing Mn²⁺ dopant ions at high precursor concentration. Also, the room temperature ferromagnetic behavior of Mn-doped CdS nanoparticles is discussed by using hysteresis measurement results.     

A composite photocatalyst of cdS nanoparticles deposited on TiO2 nanosheets

A nanocomposite photocatalyst consisting of deposited CdS nanoparticles on TiO2 nanosheets was fabricated by a simple one-pot method. The contact between two phases was maximized by making a composite structure of TiO2 nanosheet decorated with CdS nanoparticles. The composite photocatalyst showed higher photoactivity for hydrogen production from aqueous Na2S/Na2SO3 solution and decomposition of methylene blue under visible light irradiation (lamda > or =420 nm) compared with single component CdS nanoparticles or a physical mixture of CdS nanoparticles and TiO2 nanorods. The intentional formation of nanoscale heterojunctions between two phases appears beneficial for inducing an efficient electron-hole separation.
