Description 478-489
We report synthesis of PVA capped CdS/ZnS (Cadmium Sulphide/Zinc Sulphide) core/shell nanocomposites using a
simple and cost effective chemical precipitation method. The synthesized samples were characterized using different
characterization techniques. Results of UV-vis and PL spectroscopic analysis indicate formation of nanoparticles of CdS and
CdS/ZnS whereas the XRD patterns show formation of cubic and hexagonal structure of CdS and ZnS Nanoparticles
respectively. Results of TEM and SEM analysis show that, the synthesized Nanoparticles are more or less spherical in
shape. The FTIR result confirms the formation of Cd-S and Zn-S bond in the CdS/ZnS core/shell structures. Results of
photocatalytic study indicates that the CdS/ZnS core/shell nanocomposites shows excellent photocatalytic activity for the
degradation of Methyl Orange (MO) where it was degraded nearly 83% under UV irradiation.
