Structural and Photoluminescence properties of Ni doped CdS Nanoparticles Synthesis by Sol Gel Method

摘要

Ni doped CdS nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by sol-gel method. Nickel nitrate, cadmium nitrate, sodium sulfide has been used as precursors for the preparation of these Ni-doped CdS nanoparticles. The structural properties were studied by X- ray diffraction analysis. Surface morphology and the composition of the samples were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The X-ray diffraction results revealed that the Ni-doped CdS nanoparticles were in hexagonal structure. The crystallite size was determined from Debye-Scherer equation and showed that the particle size increases with the doping of Ni. Optical absorption spectra of Ni doped CdS also was studied by Photoluminescence spectroscopy in the range of 200-600 nm.
