Surfactant-mediated variation of band-edge emission in CdS nanocomposites

Structural and morphological evolution of CdS nanosheets-based superstructures by surfactant assisted solvothermal method

“…All the diffraction peaks are of higher intensities; due to the reorientation of the CdS nanoparticles in the presence of the surfactant. A phase transition from cubic to hexagonal CdS is observed and can be attributed to the intercalation of CTAB into the crystal structure of CdS [26]. Reports on phase transition in CdS and other materials have also been reported [27e29].…”

Effect of Triton X-100 surfactant on thiol-amine cosolvents assisted facile synthesized CdS thin films on glass substrate by spin coating method

“…Most recently, we have reported the direct solutionprocessed thiol-amine cosolvents assisted synthesis of air annealed CdS thin films using glass protector where Triton X-100 surfactant has been used for the uniform deposition of the films [34]. There are also few reports of the use of nonionic surfactants aided synthesis of CdS films [18,35,36]. To take away or resurgence of heavy, unusual, and costly metal ions, and organic contaminants from aqueous solutions, the use of various surfactants in metal ion flotation process has also been reported [37].…”

“…To take away or resurgence of heavy, unusual, and costly metal ions, and organic contaminants from aqueous solutions, the use of various surfactants in metal ion flotation process has also been reported [37]. Throughout the last Duo decennial, effects of natural organic and synthetic inorganic surfactants on metal oxides including SnO 2 [38], Ni(OH) 2 [39], TiO 2 [40], ZnO [41], WO 3 [42], metal chalcogenides such as CdS [18,35,36], PbS [43], CuS [44] have been inspected intensely. Capacity of the solubility of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the aqueous solutions of Triton X-100 surfactant has been reported [45].…”
