Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles with controllable morphology, photoluminescence and photocatalytic activity templated by worm-like dendronized poly(amido amine)s

- Dendronized poly(amido amine)s are synthesized to prepare hybrid cadmium sulfide nanoparticles.
- The nanoparticles have controllable spherical or nanowire morphologies.
- The photoluminescence and photocatalytic activity of the nanoparticles are characterized.
- The photoluminescence and photocatalytic activity are dominated by the morphologies of the nanoparticles.
