Popis: | Cadmium metal nanocrystallites (NCs), prepared on graphite surfaces by electrochemical deposition, are employed as precursors to synthesize core−shell nanoparticles consisting of a crystalline cadmium sulfide (CdS) core and a sulfur or polysulfide shell. Core−shell NCs having a large CdS core (radii RCdS > 40 A) were prepared by exposing electrodeposited cadmium particles (RCd > 25 A) to H2S at 300 °C, whereas nanoparticles having a smaller CdS core (down to 17 A) were obtained from cadmium precursor particles via a Cd(OH)2 intermediate. For both large-core and small-core CdS nanoparticles, the addition of the sulfur capping layer (ranging in thickness from 5 to 30 A) occurred during exposure to H2S at 300 °C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) data show that the synthesis of CdS NCs proceeded on a particle-by-particle basis such that the particle size and monodispersity of the CdS core were directly related to those of the cadmium metal precursor particle... |
