Abstract

Nanocrystalline cadmium sulfide particles were prepared by a new bench-top mild temperature procedure starting from cadmium ethylxanthate and using alkanolamines DEA; TEA as reaction media. The role of DEA; TEA in the whole reaction-nanocrystallization process is discussed. Basic spectroscopical properties of the new nano-CdS material formed were studied in order to characterize it as a material for the construction of photovoltaic solar cells.
