Abstract
Sodium n-Dodecyl-benzenesulfonate-stabilized (SDBS) CdS nanoparticles, which are nearly monosize and monodispersed, have been prepared in an emulsion that was stabilized by cosurfactants. The cosurfactants were Lauric acid and SDBS. The ultraviolet spectra gave an exciton peak at 312 nm suggesting, when compared with the literature values, that our nanoparticles are around 1 nm in size. The size exclusion chromatography also gave a very sharp and narrow peak suggesting that the particles were monosize. In this short paper, the synthesis method of producing such fine CdS nanoparticles involving the emulsion is described in detail.
