Abstract

Cadmium Sulfide nanoparticles were prepared by a simple and cost effective precipitation method. Xray analysis revealed broad diffraction peaks indicating that the particles are of very small size. The prominent broad peaks at 2θ values of 26.48°, 43.90°, and 51.91°, which could be indexed to the (002), (110) and (112) direction of the hexagonal phase of CdS. Optical studies showed maximum absorbance in the UV region but minimum absorbance in the VIS-NIR regions make it an excellent material for screening off UV portion of electromagnetic spectrum in UV filters and sensors.
