Abstract

In recent years, the synthesis of CdS nanoparticle has attained great attention due to its unique size dependent optical, catalytical and electrical properties. CdS nanoparticles are II-VI group semiconductor in nature with a wide band gap. Simple, non toxic and environmental friendly method of its production has been described here using glucose as passivator. Characterization has been done by using (XRD) X-Ray Diffraction and UV Visible Spectroscopy.
