We report the synthesis of hexadecylamine (HDA) and tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) capped CdS nanoparticles using cadmium piperidine dithiocarbamate (DTC) tetrahydroquinoline complexes as single source precursors. These are easy to prepare, air stable for long periods pyrolyze give high quality nanoparticles. The obtained showed quantum confinement with near band edge luminescence. reaction conditions such amount capping group temperature were varied study their influence on properties...
We report the synthesis of lead piperidine and tetrahydroquinoline dithiocarbamate (DTC) complexes their use as single source precursors for preparation anisotropic PbS nanoparticles. The were thermolysed in coordinating solvents such hexadecylamime (HDA), tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO), oleylamine (OA) decylamine (DA) at various reaction temperatures. variation conditions produced particles with shapes ranging from spheres to cubes rods. size is generally larger than those synthesized by...

The high stability, availability, and wide size-dependent bandgap energy of sulphidic semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) render them promising for applications in optoelectronic devices solar cells. However, the tunability their optical properties depends on strict control crystal structure crystallisation process.

This article reports on VIS-active composite thin films based zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper sulfide (CuxS) deposited using robotic spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) for the study of optical photocatalytic properties. The first step involves SPD a CuxS layer onto glass substrate at 300°C. second consists ZnO to form glass/CuxS-ZnO composites that were further annealed 400°C. development was confirmed by XRD EDX analyses. band gap energy ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1">...
