Abstract
Quantum-sized CdS nanorods were synthesized by direct thermal decomposition of a single-source precursor in a monosurfactant system. The CdS nanorods were uniform, had high crystallinity, and exhibited strong quantum confinement effect. The nanorod growth was controlled by an oriented attachment mechanism, and the morphology was determined by the competition between dipole attraction and steric repulsion of nanodots. Increasing precursor concentration and prolonging reaction time were favorable for the formation of CdS nanorods.
