Microwave-assisted synthesis of Zn x Cd1−x S–MWCNT heterostructures and their photocatalytic properties

Thermoelectric Properties of Indium(III)‐Doped Copper Antimony Selenide Thin Films Deposited Using a Microwave‐Assisted Technique

“…Thei nter-planer spacing was d 112 = 0.326 nm, which corresponds to the (1 12)l attice plane of the tetragonal crystals tructure of the Cu 3 SbSe 4 thin film. [24] Thes elected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern of the thin film is presented in Figure 4d and shows the formation of the ring pattern, which indicates the formation of ac rystalline sample. [23] TheH RTEM andS AED results are in good agreement with the XRD pattern and confirm the crystallinity of the thin films.…”

“…Thes ynthesis method and the qualityo ft he material play an importantr ole in the properties of the material for different optoelectronic applications.C u-Sb-Se is av ery efficient and capable optoelectronic material. [16,17] It has been pre-pared by several methods such as direct fusion, [18] solid-state reaction, [19] electrodeposition, [20] spark plasma method, [17,21] solvothermal method, [22] co-precipitation, [23] rapid injection, [24] hot injection [25] and microwave-assisted method. [26] Them icrowave-assistedt echnique is ap romising method for the synthesiso fn anocrystalline metal chalcogenidet hin films.T his technique has attracted considerable research attentionb ecause of its advantages,s uch as rapid heating, high reaction rate,l ow energy consumption, high product yield and controlled particle size to yield nanomaterials,a nd it also provides uniform nucleation and growthc onditions for nanomaterials.…”

Low-temperature solid-state synthesis and optical properties of CdS–ZnS and ZnS–CdS alloy nanoparticles

“…Pandey et al obtained ZnS/CdS quantum dots by a solution reaction while controlling the pH [18]. In addition, Cd 1−x Zn x S nanostructures, Zn x Cd 1−x S solid solution, ZnS/CdS heterostructures and so on have been prepared by various methods including vapor-phase synthesis [19], single precursor reaction [20] and microwave-assisted synthesis [21]. However, complex conditions seem to be required for the above synthetic methods.…”

Solvothermal Synthesis and Visible Photocatalytic Activity of Zn0.4Cd0.6S/TiO2/Reduced graphene oxide Nanomaterials

“…Therefore, increasing the availability of visible light for the practical application of photocatalyst still is now a challenge. Zn x Cd 1-x S, as a typical alloyed chalcogenide semiconductor, is a promising material due to its remarkable properties such as excellent electrical conductivity, valence bands at relatively negative potentials [10][11][12][13] . Therefore, it can be applied in photocatalysis, particularly in the visible light driven photocatalytic degradation of dyes.…”
