Abstract

Synthesis of CdS nanoparticles by a conventional simple chemical co-precipitation technique is reported here. Cadmium acetate and sodium sulphide is used as the starting materials and N-N dimethyl formamide (DMF) as a stabilizing agent. The prepared sample have been analyzed by XRD, TEM, EDAX, and UV-Vis. XRD study reveals that the CdS particles have cubic structure and crystalline nature. The particle size calculated from the most intense broad peaks in the diffraction pattern, found to be about 5.11 nm. The optical band gap energy of the sample calculated from UV-Vis absorption spectra is found to be about 3.8 eV. TEM micrograph also reveals the nano sized particles of CdS. The elemental analysis by EDAX confirms that the prepared sample contains the appropriate cadmium and sulphur weight percentages in the reaction compound.
