Nanoparticles in the size regime of a few nanometers have
received considerable attention because of their interesting
physical and chemical properties [1]. Recently, the ternary II–VI
semiconductor nanomaterials have been extensively investigated,
because their properties can be tuned by changing their
constituent stoichiometries [2–5]. Zn1xCdxS nanoparticles are
promising materials for high density optical recording and short
wavelength laser diode applications [6]. Zn1xCdxS thin films as
wide band gap materials have broad applications in devices such
as solar cells [7] and photodetectors [8]. In addition, Zn1xCdxS
nanoparticles can produce hydrogen from water splitting under
visible light irradiation with higher efficiency than pure ZnS and
CdS nanoparticles [9–11]. Recently, Zn1xCdxS nanoparticles have
been applied for photocatalytic degradation of some organic
pollutants [12–14]. Therefore, preparation of Zn1xCdxS nanoparticles has been a very popular research area in recent years [15–22].
Generally, these methodologies employ harmful chemicals, high
temperatures, complicated equipments or long reaction times.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to synthesize Zn1xCdxS nanoparticles using fast, green and template-free methods under mild
conditions.
