Abstract

Nanocomposites of CdS/Ag2S, CdS/PbS, CdS/CuS, CdS/ZnS, and CdS/MnS were synthesized by a soft template method using emulsion containing water and oil. The synthesized metal sulfides were characterized with UV/vis and FTIR spectroscopy in term of spectral properties which suggested the formation of the desired compounds. Morphology and structural features were determined with the help of SEM and XRD, which depicted the irregular and cluster shapes of the compounds. The cyclic voltammetry described that synthesized compounds have electrochemical properties and have ability to be used as energy storage devices. It was concluded from the results that AAD-5 has depicted 929 mF/g specific capacitance while AAD-2 showed minimum result (6.92 mF/g). Tauc's plot were made to check the optical properties of the compounds and it showed good optical and electrochemical properties.
