the zinc-cadmium oxide (zno-cdo) nanocomposites with different weight percentages of cadmium oxide (cdo) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the sonochemical method using zinc and cadmium nitrates as precursors to probe their nano-structured surfaces for the decomposition reactions of chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (ceps) as a surrogate of sulfur mustard agent simulant. scanning electron...

In the present study, binary oxide (cadmium oxide [CdO])x (zinc oxide [ZnO])1-x nanoparticles (NPs) at different concentrations of precursor in calcination temperature were prepared using thermal treatment technique. Cadmium and zinc nitrates (source of cadmium and zinc) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (capping agent) have been used to prepare (CdO)x (ZnO)1-x NPs samples. The sample was characterized...

Potentiometric sensing and electrochemical recycling of cadmium ion have been demonstrated over chemical interactive electrically conducting bio nanocomposite film comprised zinc oxide, sodium alginate, polypyrrole (ZnO/SA-g-PPy) using...

Common II-VI compound semiconducting materials are stable thermodynamically with zincblende phase, while the II-O materials such as zinc oxide ZnO and beryllium oxide BeO are stable with wurtzite phase, and cadmium oxide CdO and magnesium oxide MgO are stable in rocksalt phase. This phase disharmony in the same material family laid a challenge for the basic physics and in practical applications...

An optical-fiber based evanescent ammonia vapor sensor was constructed with surface-passivated growth of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures, which was achieved through a three-step wet chemical process. Initially, the ZnO nanostructures were synthesized using a wet-chemical method and subsequently surface-passivated with chalcogenide material compounds namely cadmium sulphide (CdS) and cadmium sel...

We present a systematic study of the effect of variation of the zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) layer thickness on the absorption characteristics of CIGS solar cells using a simulation program based on finite element method (FEM). We show that the absorption in the CIGS layer does not decrease monotonically with its layer thickness due to interference effects. Erg...

Mesoporous silica metal oxide (ZnO and CdO) thin films have been used as metal ion precursors to produce the first examples of mesoporous silica metal sulfide (meso-SiO(2) @ZnS, meso-SiO(2) @CdS) or silica metal selenide (meso-SiO(2) @ZnSe, meso-SiO(2) @CdSe) thin films, in which the pore walls are made up of silica and metal sulfide or metal selenide nanoflakes, respectively. A gentle chemical...

A kind of Zinc oxide (ZnO)/Cadmium sulfide (CdS)/Silica nanopillars structure is fabricated to photoresistor for the first time. The silica wafer with countless used as substrate photoresistor. CdS and ZnO film are deposited by frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering onto surface form ZnO/CdS/Silica structure. nanowires also can grow on hydrothermal reaction nanowires/CdS/Silica structures. X-ray d...
