The CdS quantum dots were grown in a special glass matrix, which involved a sequence of steps. The obtained glass was of uniformly bright yellow in color and the bulk glass was pulverized to a fine powder of micron size particles. The glass powder was characterized structurally and morphologically. X-Ray diffraction and electron diffraction patterns reveal a hexagonal crystallite system for the CdS quantum dots. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and chemical leaching with HCl studies demonstrate that the 2.5 nm size CdS quantum dots distribute homogeneously in a monodispersed form in the glass domain and on the surface with a ``partially embedded exposure'' configuration. This disposition imparts an excellent photostability against photocorrosion and also a facile catalytic function. Therefore, even a very small amount of CdS quantum dots (0.005 g per gram of glass powder) is able to photodecompose H2S under visible light (lambda &amp;gt;= 420 nm) both in alkaline and pure aqueous media and produce solar hydrogen with markedly high quantum yields of 17.5 and 11.4%, respectively at 470 nm. Salient features like reusability after simple washing, corrosionless-stability and remarkable catalytic activity of this quantum dot-glass nanosystem are brought forth by our novel catalyst design and are much acclaimed in large scale solar H-2 production.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">40</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.099</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kale, Bharat B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baeg, Jin-Ook</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kong, Ki-jeong</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moon, Sang-Jin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nikam, Latesh K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Kashinath R.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Self assembled CdLa2S4 hexagon flowers, nanoprisms and nanowires: novel photocatalysts for solar hydrogen production</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Materials Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2624-2631</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We report here a new ternary chalcogenide material, cadmium lanthanum sulfide (CdLa2S4) produced using a facile hydrothermal method at 433 K. The effect of the solvent on the morphology of the CdLa2S4 was demonstrated for the first time. The prima facie observations revealed the formation of highly crystalline hexagonal structures in the form of flowers in aqueous medium. The flowers comprise hexagonal columns similar to 300 nm in diameter and 1-1.2 mu m in length. All the hexagonal structures have a sharp tip with a cavity of 10 nm and are almost equal in size. The nanoprisms have an average base size of 35 nm with 35 nm edges, and the nanowires have a diameter of 10-15 nm; both were obtained in methanol. Crystal and electronic structure calculations were performed using the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP) based on density functional theory (DFT). Considering the band gap of pristine CdLa2S4 in the visible region (2.3 eV), we have demonstrated CdLa2S4 as a photocatalyst for the production of H-2 under solar light. Nanostructured CdLa2S4 prisms gave the maximum hydrogen production, i.e. 2552 mu mol h(-1). Being a stable ternary nanostructured metal sulfide (with nanohexagons, nanoprisms, nanowires), CdLa2S4 may have other potential prospective applications in solar cells and optoelectronic devices.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.02</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhirud, Ashwini P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaudhari, Nilima</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nikam, Latesh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonawane, Ravindra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Kashinath</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baeg, Jin-Ook</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kale, Bharat</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surfactant tunable hierarchical nanostructures of CdIn2S4 and their photohydrogen production under solar light</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Journal of Hydrogen Energy</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bipyramids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CdIn2S4</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogen generation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">hydrothermal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Self-assembled</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11628-11639</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The hierarchical nanostructures of CdIn2S4 were selectively prepared through hydrothermal process in the presence of different surfactants. Structural study demonstrated existence of cubic spinel structure and micro structural study shown a pretty marigold flower like morphology without any surfactant. The effect of surfactants on the morphology and microstructure of CdIn2S4 has been studied by using Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactants. The CdIn2S4 bipyramids with length of 0.7-1 mu m have been obtained using PVP. Interestingly, the nanopetals (thin and transparent) of CdIn2S4 are self assembled into hollow spheres in the presence of CTAB. Considering the importance of these unique nanostructures, the growth mechanism has also been proposed. The optical properties demonstrated the band gap in the range of 2.12-2.29 eV which is well within the visible region. In this contest, photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production using the above nanostructures under visible light was also demonstrated. The prima-fascia observations shows that the bipyramidal CdIn2S4 exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production (3238 mu molh(-1)) than other nanostructures. Being a nanostructured semiconductor chalcogenide with a good stability will also have potential applications in solar cells and LED. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.

The stable, monodispersed CdS0.5Se0.5 and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) of size 2 to 12 nm have been grown in a germanate glass matrix by a simple melt quench technique at moderate temperature. XRD and Raman studies show formation of hexagonal CdS0.5Se0.5 and CdSe in the glass matrix. The quantum confinement of CdS0.5Se0.5 and CdSe was studied using TEM and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The band gap of the glass nanosystem was tuned from 3.6 to 1.8 eV by controlling the CdS0.5Se0.5 quantum dot size in the glass matrix. It can be further tuned to 1.68 eV using growth of CdSe quantum dots in the glass matrix. Considering the tuneable band gap of the CdS0.5Se0.5 and CdSe quantum dot-glass nanosystem for the visible light absorption, a study of size tuneable photocatalytic activity for hydrogen generation from hydrogen sulfide splitting was performed under visible light irradiation for the first time. The utmost hydrogen evolution, i.e. 8164.53 and 7257.36 mu mol h(-1) g(-1) was obtained for the CdS0.5Se0.5 and CdSe quantum dot-glass nanosystems, respectively. The apparent quantum yield (AQY) was observed to be 26% and 21% for the CdS0.5Se0.5 and CdSe quantum dot-glass nanosystems, respectively. It is noteworthy that the present glass nanosystem as a photocatalyst was found to be very stable as compared to naked powder photocatalysts.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7.76</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Panmand, Rajendra P.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sethi, Yogesh A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deokar, Rajashree S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Late, Dattatray J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gholap, Haribhau M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baeg, Jin-Ook</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kale, Bharat B.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In situ fabrication of highly crystalline CdS decorated Bi2S3 nanowires (nano-heterostructure) for visible light photocatalyst application</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RSC Advances</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23508-23517</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In situ synthesis of the orthorhombic Bi2S3 nanowires decorated with hexagonal CdS nanoparticles (nano-heterostructure) has been demonstrated by a facile solvothermal method.
