Sub-micrometer-sized CdS spheres were synthesized by hydrothermal and solvothermal reactions using Cd(NO3)2.4H2O and CH4N2S raw materials at a constant stoichiometric 1 : 2, Cd : S molar ratio. Various conditions such as solvent type (water and/or ethanol), reaction time and temperature were examined for the synthesis of the targets. The synthesized materials were characterized by […]
An efficient photocatalyst consisting of CdS nanoparticle dispersed mesoporous silica-titania was prepared using amphiphilic triblock copolymer P123 as template and silica-titania sol–gel precursors. The CdS nanoparticle was incorporated into silica-titania mesoporous nanosturctures by post impregnation method. The synthesized catalyst has been characterized by FTIR, TEM, SEM, and EDAX analysis. The CdS nanoparticles incorporated silica-titania mesoporous […]
In this work, PP+CdS/ZnS transparent hybrid polymer nanocomposites were synthesized and studied. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive (EDS), and UV-spectroscopy analysis. It was found that the bandgap of PP+1%CdS/ZnS; PP+3%CdS/ZnS, and PP+5%CdS/ZnS; PP+10%CdS/ZnS nanocomposites is 5.2 eV, 5.1 eV, 4.6 eV, respectively. SEM analysis showed that […]
