Abstract
In this study, cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles were introduced to multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to fabricate CdS/MWCNT nanocomposites in two stages. In the first stage, CdS nanoparticles were synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Then in the next stage, the synthesized CdS nanoparticles were added to MWCNTs by magnetic stirring. The optical properties were determined by using UV–Vis spectroscopy, photocatalytic and photoluminescence analyses. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analyses were carried out on the samples in order to accomplish the structural and morphological characterization. The results showed that the optical characteristics of MWCNTs increase by adding CdS nanoparticles to their external walls.
