Synthesis and luminescence studies of CdSrS nanostructures

Amorphous SiOx nanowires catalyzed by metallic Ge for optoelectronic applications

“…The 570 nm yellow emission peak was rarely observed in previous reported SiO x nanowire PL spectra [11,15,48,49]. The 570 nm luminescence peak was found from Ge microcrystal embedded in SiO 2 glassy matrices [50], which was attributed to the quantum confinement of electrons and holes in Ge microcrystal. However, in our experiment, no Ge nanoparticles were found in the SiO x nanowires through our extensive TEM observations.…”

Novel hierarchical CdS crystals by an amino acid mediated hydrothermal process

“…Compared to mono-morphological structures, hierarchical structures may show unique properties by combining the features of micrometer-and nanometer-scaled building blocks in one crystal [9][10][11]. Nano-/micro-sized CdS crystals show excellent optical and electronic properties and may have potential applications for solar cells, light-emitting diodes, hydrogen production, thin-film transistors, and photocatalysis [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Due to its unique properties and potential applications, considerable efforts have been made to develop effective approaches to synthesize CdS nano-/micro-crystals with different morphologies.…”

Diphenylthiocarbazone (dithizone)-assisted solvothermal synthesis and optical properties of one-dimensional CdS nanostructures

“…As a direct band gap material with E g of 2.42 eV at room temperature, cadmium sulfide (CdS) is one of the most important semiconductors for the extensive application in light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and other optoelectronic devices [6][7][8][9][10]. Various techniques, such as vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and thermal evaporation, have been developed to synthesize 1D CdS nanostructures [11][12][13].…”
