Abstract
CdS nanorods were successfully synthesized by pyrolysis using trioctylphosphine (TOP) as a coordinating solvent. For this pyrolysis,cadmium acetate dihydrate and sulfur powder were used as the cadmium source and sulfur source,respectively. The structure,morphology,and optical properties of the prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),transmission electron microscopy (TEM),high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM),ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy,photoluminescence (PL),Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy,and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) 31P spectroscopy. The effects of different molar ratios of Cd-to-S and the reaction concentrations on the morphology and size of the CdS nanostructures were investigated. The results indicated that the wurtzite CdS nanorods,with a typical diameter of 4.5 nm and a length of up to 28.0 nm,had a preferential [001] growth direction and displayed a quantum confinement effect. We also proposed a possible forma-tion mechanism for the CdS nanocrystals based on the experimental results.
