Abstract

CdS, CdS:Mn, ZnS, ZnS:Mn and ZnS:Tb nanoparticles were prepared by using carboxylic-containing copolymer, polystyrene-maleic anhydride (PSM), as template. Average particle size, 2.5 nm for CdS nanoparticles, is deduced from UV-vis absorption spectra and consistent with the observation of TEM. Characteristic emissions of the doping ions can be observed and the energy transfer from the host to the doping ions is verified. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were studied to confirm the bonding effect of the copolymer and the metal ions. PSM hydrolyzed and chelated metal ions by its carboxylic group, and then performed as a protection layer after the formation of nanoparticles.
