SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CADMIUM SULFIDE OBTAINED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

Abstract

Cadmium sulfide uniform fine particles have been synthesized in soft conditions, at room temperature, using cadmium complex compounds and thioacetamide. The microstructure and morphology of cadmium sulfide were characterized by X - ray Diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, and Selected Area Electron Diffraction. The optical properties of the samples were examined by UV – Visible spectroscopy.
