CdS-based 3D nano/micro-architectures, their formation mechanism and tailoring of properties for visible light induced photocatalytic activities in energy environmental applications are presented.
Nanotwin structures are observed in high-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies of cubic phase CdS quantum dots powder form by chemical co-precipitation method. The deposition thin films nanocrystalline is carried out on silicon, glass, and TEM grids keeping the substrates at room temperature (RT) 200°C pulsed laser ablation. These then subjected to thermal annealing different temperatures. Glancing angle X-ray diffraction results confirm structural transitions after deposited...
A highly sensitive UV-detector is devised for the first time from ion beam irradiated nanocrystalline CdS thin films. The sensor exhibits improvements in responsivity, photosensitivity, and efficiency as a function of fluence.
