Abstract

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals were successfully prepared in inverse microemulsion under γ-irradiation at room temperature. Their shape can be controlled by changing the surfactant concentrations and the addition of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) as the template. CdS nanorods were successfully obtained under γ-irradiation using HEC as the template, which was confirmed by the observation of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Without the addition of HEC, spherical CdS crystals were formed. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern and electron diffraction (ED) analysis showed the hexagonal lattice of CdS in the nanorods. Additionally, the optical properties of CdS nanorods were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.
