Structural, optical and photoelectrochemical characterization of CdS nanowire synthesized by chemical bath deposition and wet chemical etching
چکیده انگلیسی
Nanocrystalline thin films of CdS have been grown onto flexible plastic and titanium substrates by a simple and environmentally benign chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at room temperature. The films consist of clusters of CdS nanoparticles. The clusters of CdS nanoparticles in the films were successfully converted into nanowire (NW) networks using chemical etching process. The possible mechanism of the etching phenomenon is discussed. These films were examined for their structural, surface morphological and optical properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV-vis spectrophotometry techniques, respectively. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) investigations were carried out using cell configuration as n-CdS/(1 M NaOH + 1 M Na2S + 1 M S)/C. The film of nanowires was found to be hexagonal in structure with the preferential orientation along the (0 0 2) plane. The nanowires have widths in the range of 50-150 nm and have lengths of the order of a few micrometers. Optical studies reveal that the CdS nanowires have value of band gap 2.48 eV, whereas it is 2.58 eV for nanoparticles of CdS. Finally, we report on the ideality of junction improvement of PEC cells when CdS nanoparticles photoelectrode converted into nanowires photoelectrode.
