T. Torimoto et al., Influences of initial particle size on preparation of monodisperse CdS nanoparticles with size-selective photoetching, CHEM LETT, (5), 1999, pp. 379-380
It was found that the size-selective photoetching of CdS particles prepared
in Nafion films could be achieved only for particles having the particle s
izes smaller than about 12 nm in the diameter. The particles greater than t
his threshold size were photocorroded until complete dissolution was attain
