Studies on thick films of photoconducting cadmium sulphide

Sol – Gel Spin Coated Cadmium Sulphide ‎Thin Films on Silicon (1 0 0) Substrates for ‎Optoelectronic Applications

Cadmium chalcogenides with appropriate band gap energy have been attracting a great deal of attention because of their potential applications in optoelectronic devices. In this work CdS thin films were deposited on p – type silicon substrates by sol – gel spin coating method at different substrate temperatures. The CdS deposited wafers were characterized by X‐ray diffracti...

The influence of sulphide transport on the growth and properties of copper sulphide films on copper

Cadmium sulphide / Zinc sulphide quantum dot decoration of three-dimensional porous graphene

Graphene, a monolayer of graphite, has appeared as one of the most fascinating materials of today’s Material Science research. The properties of graphene (GR) with high electronic conductivity, extraordinary strength and interesting chemical characteristics make it suitable for many different applications. All these tremendous properties of GR are relevant at the nanoscale, hence, in a view to ...

Semiconducting properties of layered cadmium sulphide-based hybrid nanocomposites

A series of hybrid cadmium salt/cationic surfactant layered nanocomposites containing different concentrations of cadmium sulphide was prepared by exchanging chloride by sulphide ions in the layered precursor CdXx(OH)y(CnTA)z in a solid phase/gas reaction, resulting in a series of layered species exhibiting stoichiometries corresponding to CdSvXx(OH)y(CnTA)z, constituted by two-dimensional CdCl...

Key parameters determining structure and properties of sulphide films formed on copper corroding in anoxic sulphide solutions

The corrosion behaviour of copper was studied in anoxic solutions containing different concentrations of sulphide (10–10 mol L) and chloride (0?1–5 mol L) under stagnant and controlled convective conditions. The main determinants of the structure and properties of the copper sulphide (Cu2S) films formed are the rate of sulphide transport to the surface relative to the rate of its interfacial re...
