Continuous flow reactors show great promise for large-scale synthesis of quantum dots. Here, we discuss results for the synthesis of multi-layered Cd-based hybrid nanocrystals - CdSe/CdS/ZnS, CdS/ZnS, and CdSeS/ZnS - in a continuous flow reactor. The simple reactor design and liquid-phase chemistry obviate the need for preheating or in-line mixing, and the chosen reactor dimensions and operatin...

We report the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of textured porous ZnO and CdX-coated ZnO films (X = S, Se). Porous ZnO films were grown with a platelike morphology on F-doped SnO(2) (FTO) substrates. The growth of ZnO films involves a two-step procedure. In the first step, we electrochemically grew simonkolleite (Zn(5)(OH)(8)Cl(2)·H(2)O) plate films. Annealing of the simonkolleite at 450 ...

In this report, we have prepared undoped and Mg-doped ZnO thin films by a modified successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) method. The structural, surface morphological, chemical compositional, optical properties of pure were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) s...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a versatile material of compound semiconductors with excellent proper‐ ties and extensive applications in electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, and catalyses (Das et al, 2007). ZnO thin films have attracted considerable attention because they can be tailored to possess high electrical conductivity, high infrared reflectance and high visible transmit‐ tance by different coat...
