Size-quantized cadmium chalcogenide nanoparticles were effectively deposited on a porous zinc oxide particulate film electrode by a one-step hydrothermal method in which an increase in the concentration of 3-mercaptopropionic acid reduced the size of deposited nanoparticles. The photoelectrochemical properties of the resulting electrodes varied depending on the kind of metal chalcogenide nanoparticles deposited and their size.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
