Synthesis of CdS nanoparticles in switchable surfactant reverse micelles

Abstract

A facile method for synthesis of CdS nanoparticles has been described. Monodisperse face-centered cubic CdS NPs could be synthesized in switchable surfactant reverse micelles. The micelles could be broken easily and CdS NPs without a coating of surfactants could be obtained by bubbling N(2) at 65 °C.
