Abstract
The influence of high-temperature air treatment on the surface composition and structure of CdS was studied by means of XPS, XRD, and H +/OH − adsorption. The results show that the relative concentration of surface oxygen atoms increases considerably with duration of the air treatment, but there is no apparent change in percentage of oxygen atoms consumed in forming CdSO 4. In the ion sputtering of samples treated with different times, it was found that the CdO can be formed deep within the CdS particles, but formation of CdSO 4 takes place only at the surface. The high-temperature air treatment also increases the surface basicity of CdS and the content of hexagonal crystal form in bulk CdS.
