Abstract

Novel mace-like (wolf-teeth clubs) CdS nanostructures were successfully prepared on a large scale using CdCl2•2.5H2O and NH2CSNH2 as starting materials through a convenient mixed-solvothermal route. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The experimental results reveal that the morphology of CdS products was greatly affected by the volume ratio of anhydrous ethanol and distilled water. The possible mechanism for the formation of mace-like CdS nanostructures is simply discussed.
