Photoluminescence Study of Ammonium-Free Chemical Bath Deposition of CdS Nanoparticles on Polyester Substrate.

Self-assembled cadmium sulfide (CdS) thin solid films were synthesized by chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique for different deposition times (20 min.–24 h) on transparent and flexible polyester substrates using sodium acetate complex agent. CBD-CdS films were also deposited on glass (BK7) and quartz substrates, as reference.

Graphene oxide as a highly selective substrate to synthesize a layered MoS2 hybrid electrocatalyst.

We merged the microwave synthesis approach with an extension of the nonhydrolytic sol-gel method to induce highly selective crystallization of MoS(2) layers over graphene sheets. This hybrid material showed superior electrocatalytic activity in hydrogen evolution reactions.
