Copper sulfide amorphous nanoparticles and nanocrystals were prepared successfully by a special process. These CuS nanoparticles could specifically and significantly induce the apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of human cancer cells rather than normal cells. Moreover, the biological activities of these nanoparticles are related to their polymorphs.

recent studies have reported that metal sulfide nanoparticles had potential adverse effects.  in this research, lead (ii) sulfide nanoparticles have been synthesized under different reaction conditions. scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction were used to characterize the particle size and morphology. distribution, accumulation and toxic effects of nanoparticles on rats as a biologic...

A low cost, low-temperature processable, highly efficient nickel sulfide counter electrode is demonstrated. Using the tailored, preformed nickel sulfide nanoparticles and electrostatic self-assembly, a novel counter electrode was fabricated that exceeded the efficiency of a conventional Pt-based cell.

Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation method using Cadmium acetate and ammonia solution. Presence of chemical species, were verified by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) Spectrum. From X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) spectrum the particle size, d-spacing value and structure of the nanoparticle were analysed. Size of the nanoparticles and the elemental composition were detect...

Copper indium gallium sulfide, CuIn1-xGaxS2 (CIGS2) solar cells prepared with chemical bath deposited heterojunction partner zinc-cadmium sulfide (ZnxCd1-xS) layer has exhibited better blue photon response and in turn, higher currents. This can be attributed to its higher bandgap than that of CdS. The open circuit voltages for CIGS2/ZnxCd1-xS were also higher than those of the CIGS2/CdS devices...
