CdS Nanoparticles: Green Synthesis Method and Capping Agent’s Effect on its Crystallite Size

KR Kanude and Preeti Jain

Abstract

Now days, the study of CdS nanoparticles is very important because of its dependent properties like electric, catalytic and optical properties. CdS nanoparticles in nature has II-VI group semiconductor with a wide band gap. In this manuscript, author used green synthetic method for the CdS nanoparticle production which is simple, convenient, economic and environmental benign using glucose/starch as capping agent. Synthesised CdS nanoparticles were characterized by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Spectroscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and UV-Visible Spectroscopy.
