Abstract
AbstractSilver sulfide (Ag2S) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles of adjustable sizes are synthesized using a water-in-hexane microemulsion method and stabilized by dodecanethiol. The stabilized metal sulfide nanoparticles can be deposited homogenously on flat substrates forming ordered 2D arrays in supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (Sc-CO2). The use of Sc-CO2 leaves the particles unaffected by de-wetting effects and surface tension caused by traditional solvents and produces uniform arrays. The Sc-CO2 deposition technique can effectively fill the metal sulfide nanoparticles into nanoscale features, which is difficult to achieve by conventional solvent evaporation methods.
