Influence of processing parameters on physiochemical properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles

This study focuses on optimizing practical synthesis to produce ultrafine CdS nanoparticles. Three separate chemical synthesis processes, namely microwave, wetchemical, and sonication methods, are used to generate CdS nanoparticles. Moringa oleifera leaf extract employed green syntheses of CdS nanoparticles are also performed for additional discussions. The generated CdS nanoparticles were subjected to a comparative assessment to identify the most effective processing method for synthesizing CdS nanoparticles. Even though the processing parameters were altered over their synthesis, the hexagonal structure was retained in the CdS nanoparticles. The observed results of CdS nanoparticles from XRD, SEM/EDX, and UV-Vis, according to PSA, the decreased particle size might be attributable to the regulated conditions and temperature used to synthesize CdS nanoparticles utilizing the sonication technique. The observed results revealed the CdS nanostructure property's calibratable nature by its processing parameters and high affectivity in optoelectrical applications.
