Abstract
A novel ultraviolet-irradiation technique has been successfully developed t o the synthesis of CdS nanocrystallites with different morphologies using p oly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as protecting agent. The produced CdS samples may exhibit spherical, disk-like and wire-like morphologies by adjusting the co ncentrations of CdSO4.8/3H(2)O and thioacetamide (TAA). It is found that so me nanotubes coexist in the sample of the US nanodisk, indicating it is pos sible to synthesize US nanotubes by the present approach. This method may e xtend to synthesize other metal sulfide nanocrystallites, nanowires, nanodi sks, and even nanotubes. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved .
