<b>Facile synthesis of CdS nanocrystals using thioglycolic acid as a sulfur source and stabilizer in aqueous solution</b>

Abstract

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT. A novel method has been developed for the synthesis of CdS nanocrystals (NCs) using thioglycolic acid (TGA) as a sulfur source and stabilizer with the presence of hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous medium. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results indicate that the product was of zincblend crystal structure in a sphere-like shape. The room-temperature luminescence spectra revealed that the emission peak of CdS NCs prepared in relatively short refluxing times (10-120 min) could be tuned from 518 nm to 610 nm, and the photoluminescence quantum yield of the as-prepared CdS NCs could reach as high as 12.6%. In addition, the mechanism of the CdS nanocrystals formation was preliminarily discussed. KEY WORDS KEY WORDS KEY WORDS

Growth dynamics of polyamidoamine dendrimer encapsulated CdS nanoparticles

“…Inspection of Fig. 3 shows that there is a blue-shift on the emission wavelength of the dendrimer confined CdS-nps (502 nm for G3.5, 522 nm for G4.0 and 531 nm for G4.0-OH) when compared to that of bulk CdS (650 nm) [36].…”

Sensitive Determination of Cetirizine Using CdS Quantum dots as Oxidase Mimic-mediated Chemiluminescence of Sulfite

“…Results showed that the stretching band of the S-H thiol group, (2550-2670 cm −1 wυ S-H), is not observed when the nanoparticles are evaluated. The reason for disappearance of S-H group vibration on the surface of CdS nanoparticles is due to the formation of covalent bonds between thiols and Cd 2+ surface atoms ) Wang et al, 2011(.…”

Synthesis and characterization of CdTe quantum dots by one-step method

“…The PLQY was obtained by comparison with rhodamine 6G (QY = 95%) and using data derived from the luminescence and the absorption spectra [16]. Briefly, rhodamine 6G was chosen as a reference standard (QY = 95 %), the absorbance for the standard and the CdTe QDs samples at the excitation wavelength and the fluorescence spectra of the same solutions were measured, respectively.…”
