Cadmium Sulfide Titanium Oxide Core Shell Nanoparticles (CdS/TiO2, 99.9%, APS: 80-100nm, Inorganic Semiconductor/Non semiconductor)

Cadmium Sulfide Titanium Oxide Core-Shell Nanoparticles

CdS/TiO are two semi conductor materials that have gained significant attention in nano technology due to their distinct and complementary properties.

Applications:

Photocatalysis and Environmental Remediation

Water Splitting: Cadmium sulfide titanium oxide core-shell nanoparticles are used in photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production. The CdS core absorbs visible light, while the TiO₂ shell enhances charge separation and prevents electron-hole recombination, leading to more efficient hydrogen production. This makes them promising materials for renewable energy applications.

Pollutant Degradation: The photocatalytic activity of nanoparticles makes them suitable for the degradation of organic pollutants in water and air. Under UV or visible light, these nanoparticles can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anions, which can break down toxic organic compounds, pesticides, and dyes, offering a green solution for environmental cleanup.

Air Purification: can also be used in air purification applications. The TiO₂ shell helps to generate reactive species that can degrade harmful gases like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) under UV or visible light.

Solar Energy Harvesting

Photovoltaic Cells: The ability of to absorb visible light, combined with the photocatalytic properties of  a promising material for solar cells. The nanoparticles can be integrated into thin-film solar cells to enhance light absorption and charge transport efficiency, potentially improving the performance of solar energy conversion devices.
