Effect of incorporation of sulphur on the structural, morphological and optical studies of CdSe thin films deposited by solution processed spin coating technique
摘要： Ternary compound semiconductor CdSexS1-x (x = 1, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2 and 0) thin films were prepared on glass substrates by using simple solution processed spin coating technique. Cadmium acetate, sodium selenosulfate and thiourea were used as source materials for Cd2+, Se2? and S2? ions, while triethanolamine was used as a capping agent. The 25% concentred NH4OH solution was used as a complex reagent and also used to adjust the pH of the final solution ~ 11. The deposition conditions (rotation speed 2000 rpm for 30 s and substrate dried in the air at 120 °C for 2 min) were remain same for all the samples. The as-deposited thin films on glass substrate were annealed at 350 °C for 30 min. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows that all the samples were polycrystalline in the nature with hexagonal structure. The most of prepared thin films were highly textured along (002) plane and peak position for plane (002) is shifted with change in composition ‘x’. The average crystallite size in CdSexS1-x thin films were found between 62.6 nm to 93.4 nm. Scanning electron microscopy images showed uniform deposition morphology with spherical shaped grains distributed over entire glass substrate. Samples CdSe0.8S0.2 and CdSe0.6S0.4 thin films indicated interesting morphological features with the combination of spherical shaped nanoparticles and interconnected nanofibers which form hierarchical flowerlike micro-structure. Energy dispersive X-Ray studies confirmed that thin films were having approximately same stoichiometry of atomic ratio of elements Cd, Se and S as present in volumetric ratio of the reactants in chemical solution. Fourier transform infrared studies confirmed the formation of the Cd(Se,S) bonding in materials. The optical band gap of CdSexS1-x thin films were found as direct band gap in the range of 1.82 eV to 2.32 eV. As the incorporation of sulphur element increases, the band gap of CdSexS1-x thin film also increases. The CdSexS1-x thin films can be used as absorption layer in solar photovoltaic cell which is due to wide and fine tenability of the energy band gap.

Enzyme-free “on-off-on” photoelectrochemical biosensor based on cascaded quadratic amplification strategy for miRNA 141 detection
摘要： MicroRNAs (miRNAs) assay is of great significance for early diagnosis of diseases, so an enzyme-free “on-off-on” PEC biosensor has been developed for sensitive miRNA 141 determination. Manganese-doped cadmium sulfide coupled with zinc sulfide quantum dots (Mn:CdS@ZnS QDs) and manganese porphyrin (MnPP) have been used as photoelectric material and photosensitizer, respectively. And a high photocurrent of approximately 70.0 μA has been obtained. Cascaded quadratic amplification strategy has been applied in the system. Mn:CdS@ZnS QDs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Photoelectrochemical and electrochemical technologies were used to monitor the fabrication process of the biosensor. The sensing platform exhibits recommendable stability and good selectivity, miRNA 141 can be accurately quantified with a linear range of 1.00 × 10-14 to 1.00 × 10-8 mol·L-1 and the detection limit of 3.30 fmol·L-1. This method provides promising potential to explore sensitive detection models for various biological molecules.

Encapsulated Cadmium Sulfide in Silicon Dioxide Porous Shells for Enhanced Photocatalytic Sustainability and Commendable Protection of Organic Carriers
摘要： The purpose of this study is to provide a solution to two troublesome problems on photocorrosion of cadmium sulfide (CdS) and photocatalysis damage to organic carrier. An encapsulation system of CdS in silicon dioxide (SiO2) porous shell can be constructed by following strategies: polypyrrole (PPy) layer is deposited on the surface of CdS nanoparticles via chemical redox polymerization; then the resulting PPy@CdS is covered by metasilicic acid (H2SiO3) with polyethylene glycol by sol–gel process, which originates from hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate; after removing PPy interlayers by calcination, CdS@void@SiO2 yolk–porous-shell nanospheres (YSNs) are fabricated. As expected, YSN nanoarchitecture is verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. The tailored void can be tuned by the sacrificed layers of PPy. CdS@void@SiO2 YSNs exhibit excellent photostability with a considerably low level of Cd2+ concentration at <30 ppm, which is dropped down 18 times less than ≈520 ppm of CdS. CdS@void@SiO2 YSNs show good dye removal efficiency up to 99.5%, and commendable hydrogen evolution of 126.8 μmol g?1 h?1. More interestingly, the transparent and porous SiO2 shell in the YSNs has an impressive shielding to organic carrier. Our versatile YSNs have great potential to translate CdS photocatalyst to industrial-scale application because of its stability and nondestructivity.

Mo/CIGS/CdS Structures by E‐ALD
摘要： The chalcopyrite CuIn(1-x)GaxSe2 (CIGS) thin films and their cadmium sulfide (CdS) window layer structures (CIGS/CdS) were grown on Mo foil substrate in layer-by-layer fashion by electrochemical atomic layer deposition (E-ALD) and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity. XRD shows distinct pattern changes from chalcopyrite to chalcopyrite plus CdS structures upon adding E-ALD CdS layer to CIGS layers on Mo substrate. SEM shows that uniform and homogeneously distributed nanoparticles of CdS formed on top of CIGS layers, and EDS shows the successful preparation of CIGS/CdS structures with good atomic ratios in each layer. PEC performance reveals that bare CIGS films were of p-type conductivity but that CIGS/CdS structures n-type with p-type response near null.

Cadmium sulfide nanostructures: Influence of morphology on the photocatalytic degradation of erioglaucine and hydrogen generation
摘要： Size and shape of inorganic materials are known to have great effects on their physical and chemical properties. Here, for the first time we report the visible light driven photocatalytic degradation of erioglaucine – a stable organic dye molecule in the presence of chemically synthesized nanoscale CdS with 1D (nanorods), 2D (nanosheets) and 3D (hierarchical) morphology. Visible light driven photocatalytic degradation efficiency of both 1D and 3D CdS in the removal of erioglaucine are identical. Surprisingly, with 5 min of sonication, the highly crystalline 3D CdS stacked with many thin nanowires containing numerous active surface sites exhibited four-fold enhanced photodegradation efficiency in comparison to 1D and 2D CdS. Scavenger studies revealed that electrons and superoxide radicals are primary reactive species involved in the photodegradation of erioglaucine, while cyclic photodegradation studies revealed the good stability of 3D CdS against photocorrosion. Further, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution studies also revealed the excellent activity of 3D CdS in comparison to 1D and 2D CdS. Thus, we find that the morphology indeed influences the photocatalytic activity. These results reveal that 3D CdS nanostructures investigated in the present work are efficient photocatalysts that could be fine-tuned for both environmental remediation and hydrogen generation applications.

CdS nanoparticles of different lengths induce differential responses in some of the liver functions of mice
摘要： Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (CdS NPs) are one of important nanoparticle materials which are widely used in photoelectric production, but their potential health hazard to the liver is not clear. This study is aimed at exploring the possible mechanisms of liver injury induced by CdS NPs. Male mice were treated with nanoparticles of 110–130 nm and 80–100 nm cadmium sulfide. The main methods were based on detecting the vigor of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH), and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in both blood and liver tissues as well as on observing the pathological changes in liver tissue. CdS NPs suppressed the activity of SOD and GSH, and increased the serum MDA content (p < 0.05); both effects were observed together in liver tissues of 80–100 nm group (p < 0.05) and were accompanied by an obviously inflammatory response. CdS NPs induced oxidative damage and inflammatory response in liver tissue, which may be an underlying mechanism for its pulmonary toxicity. Additionally, the toxicity of CdS NPs was closely related to the size of nanoparticles. Pathological results showed that the hepatotoxicity of shorter CdS NPs is greater than that of longer CdS NPs (Tab. 6, Fig. 3, Ref. 20). Text in PDF www.elis.sk.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3RD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CURRENT PROGRESS IN MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCES 2017 (ISCPMS2017) - Bali, Indonesia (26–27 July 2017)] - Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) as counter electrode in the newly developed catalysis zone of modified cadmium sulfide (CdS) sensitized solar cell for hydrogen production
摘要： Recently we developed a modified quantum dot dyes sensitized solar cell (QD-DSSC) having catalysis zone extension for hydrogen production. The DSSC section comprised of CdS sensitized highly order Titanium dioxidenanotube (CdS-HOTN) immobilized on Ti plate, Na2S/S containing electrolyte, and Pt covered SnO-F (fluorine doped tin oxide) glass plate (hence Pt/SnO-F/Glass). While the catalysis zone comprised of an extension of Ti support, as cathode, and the respected counter electrode was an extension of SnO-F glass, which was covered by BiVO4 film, both from respected DSSC section. In this presentation, we will focus on the role of the BiVO4 in our newly developed system. The bismuth vanadate was prepared by co-precipitation method with ammonia and calcination to obtain a fine powder. The BiVO4 fine powder were then deposited onto SnO-F glass plate and characterized by FT-IR, UV–vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy, SEM and X-ray diffraction. The characterization results revealed that the BiVO4 film, typically, has a band gap of 2.35 eV, characteristic of IR peaks represent the –V-O-, and –Bi-O-V- bonds, having a crystal phase as BiVO4 monoclinic scheelite with a typically crystallite size of 74.06 nm. The photo-electro-chemical properties of the BiVO4 film photo-anode was investigated by a linear sweep voltammetry and multi pulse amperometry, which revealed that the current response under the visible light was 0.03 mA/cm2. Further investigation when the BiVO4 film was incorporated into the modified QD-DSSC, the system (catalysis zone section), under solely visible light, was able to split the water into hydrogen and molecular oxygen. A brief discussion of the newly developed modified QD-DSSC, especially on the role of BiVO4 counter electrode in the catalysis zone will be presented, to gain a better insight in our new type artificial photosynthesis.

Fragmentation of Magica??Size Cluster Precursor Compounds into Ultrasmall CdS Quantum Dots with Enhanced Particle Yield at Low Temperatures
摘要： Colloidal small-size CdS quantum dots (QDs) are produced usually with low particle yield, together with side products such as the particular precursor compounds (PCs) of magic-size clusters (MSC). Here, we report our synthesis of small-size CdS QDs without the coexistence of the PC and thus with enhanced particle yield. For a conventional reaction of cadmium oleate (Cd(OA)2) and sulfur (S) in 1-octadecene (ODE), we show that after the formation of the PC in the pre-nucleation stage, the addition of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) facilitates the production of small-size QDs. We demonstrate that TOPO fragmentizes the PC that have formed, which enables the nucleation and growth of small-size QDs even at room temperature. Our findings introduce a new approach to making small-size QDs without the coexistence of the PC and with improved particle yield. Providing experimental evidence for the two-pathway model proposed for the pre-nucleation stage of colloidal binary QDs, the present study aids in the advance of non-classical nucleation theory.

Cadmium Sulfide Quantum-Dot-Photocatalyzed Cascade Cyclization of Functionalized Difluoromethyl Chlorides with Unactivated Olefins
摘要： A cadmium sulfide quantum-dot-photocatalyzed C(sp3)?Cl bond cleavage of ethyl chlorodifluoroacetate and cascade cyclization with unactivated olefins is described herein. This reaction provides a cost-efficient method for synthesizing a wide range of CF2-containing azaheterocycles from functionalized difluoromethyl chlorides. Furthermore, the results of a preliminary anti-proliferative activity study indicate an in vitro anti-proliferative activity superior to that of doxorubicin with IC50 values of 1.140 μM on triple negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and 2.129 μM on lung (A549) carcinoma cells.
