We describe the synthesis of cadmium bis(diphenyldithiophosphinate) (Cd(S(2)PPh(2))(2)) from secondary phosphine sulfides and its conversion to cadmium sulfide nanocrystals. Heating Cd(S(2)PPh(2))(2) and cadmium tetradecanoate (≥4 equiv) to 240 °C results in complete conversion of Cd(S(2)PPh(2))(2) to cadmium sulfide nanocrystals with
Photoelectrode made of nanocable structure of ZnO nanorods (NR) coated with TiO(2) nanosheets (NSs) was investigated for CdS/CdSe quantum dot co-sensitized solar cells. ZnO NRs prepared solution reaction at 60 °C served as the backbone for direct electron transport in

We describe the charge transfer interactions between photoexcited CdS nanorods and mononuclear water oxidation catalysts derived from the [Ru(bpy)(tpy)Cl](+) parent structure. Upon excitation, hole transfer from CdS oxidizes the catalyst (Ru(2+) → Ru(3+)) on a 100 ps to 1 ns
The novelty and potential of self-assembled superstructures reside not only in the more commonly investigated optical, magnetic and charge transport properties, but also in their mechanical behaviour, which is strictly dependent on their structural morphology. We report here nanocompression tests

A facile method for synthesis of CdS nanoparticles has been described. Monodisperse face-centered cubic CdS NPs could be synthesized in switchable surfactant reverse micelles. The micelles could be broken easily and CdS NPs without a coating of surfactants could be
