Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles prepared by chemical bath deposition

Key results of recent studies on cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are systematized. The dependence of the structure and properties of CdS nanoparticles on the nanoparticle size is illustrated. The possibility of utilizing CdS quantum dots as biological labels and sensitizers for solar cells is analyzed. The principles, features and potential of the method of aqueous solution deposition are described from the standpoint of synthesis of CdS nanocrystals and hybrid forms based on them with specified structure and properties.The bibliography includes 180 references.
