Synthesis and fluorescence spectrum analysis of CdS nanocrystals

An optimized synthesis route was applied for control the preparation of CdS nanocrystals (NCs) in an aqueous solution. Some key factors which influencing the characters of CdS NCs, such as stabilizers, ratio of reactant etc, were investigated. It was found that the fluorescence (FL) intensity of CdS NCs could be dramatically enhanced by refluxing. The size, shape, crystal structure and the optical properties of CdS NCs were also characterized by TEM, XRD, UV–Vis and FL spectra. The result showed that the well-disperse spheres CdS NCs with 6 nm in diameter were obtained
