Preparation of CdS/ZnO Core/shell Structured Nanoparticles by Hydrothermal Method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 March 2011
Abstract
CdS and ZnO capped CdS (CdS/ZnO) semiconductor nanoparticles were synthesized via hydrothermal method by thermal decomposition of the cysteine-cadmium and Zn(OH)4 2− complex precursors. Both of the photoluminescence properties and structure characterization confirmed the core/shell structure as expected. Compared to CdS nanoparticles, the band-gap emission of CdS/ZnO was greatly improved, that means the capping layer of ZnO modified the surface of CdS and reduced the surface defects effectively. ED and XRD confirmed the formation of hexagon phased CdS and the TEM image indicated the size of CdS/ZnO was about 20 nm.
