Preparation of CdS/ZnO Core/shell Structured Nanoparticies by Hydrothermal Method
Abstract:
CdS and ZnO capped CdS CdSZnO semiconductor nanoparticles were synthesized via hydrothermal method by thermal decomposition of the cysteine-cadmium and ZnOH42- complex precursors. Both of the photoluminescence properties and structure characterization confirmed the coreshell structure as expected. Compared to CdS nanoparticles, the band-gap emission of CdSZnO 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 CdSZnO was about 20 nm.
