Synthesis, characterization and optical property investigation of CdS nanoparticles.

Microwave-assisted routes have attracted much attention for nanoparticle synthesis because of minimal solvent use and rapid, high efficiency and controlled morphology. Cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanoparticles form the line between bulk and molecular states of materials and show variation in their physical and chemical properties. Cadmium sulphate and thiourea were used as precursors during this synthesis.
