Abstract
CdS nanoparticles are synthesized in reversed micelles which are then subjected to enhanced pressures of a light hydrocarbon gas. At lower t emperatures. clathrate hydrates form. reducing the micellar water cont ent. The particles remain in solution until a critical phase transitio n pressure. The removal of water leads to an enhancement in particle s tability and a resistance to photocorrosion. It is thus possible to pr epare CdS particles of various band gap energies and to stabilize thes e particles subsequently, through a process of water removal and micel le size reduction.
