CdS nanowires decorated with Cu2O nanospheres: Synthesis, formation process and enhanced photoactivity and stability

Synthesis and magnetic properties of Fe‐doped CdS nanorods

“…CdS is an important n-type II-VI semiconductor with many excellent physical and chemical properties that are particularly relevant to the fields of photoelectricity and photocatalysis [1][2][3]. Although CdS crystals with different morphologies and sizes have been demonstrated in the literature [4][5][6], problems such as short photogenerated electron-hole pair lifetimes and limited photon absorption are hindering their practical application. A variety of strategies have been employed to improve photoelectric and photocatalytic efficiencies, such as suitable textural design [7], metal ion doping [8,9], non-metal ion doping [10], and semiconductor heterojunction design [11].…”

Fabrication and Growth Mechanism of Nano-Octahedrons: A Study on Cu2O Core-Shell Structures for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

“…20 These processes often involve the addition of additives such as organic polymers and inorganic ions to control the size and shape of the products. 21 However, these additives are often expensive or environmentally harmful, posing challenges for their elimination. 22 This paper focuses on the synthesis of Cu 2 O nano-octahedra, achieved through a relatively minor modification to the synthesis process.…”
