| Description |
We demonstrate a high yielding green approach for the synthesis of CdS nanoparticles network in poly(3hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) polymer film.Triethyl amine has been used as a co-ligand instead of a highly poisonous pyridine to synthesize xanthate functionalized Cd(II) ion in high yields under ambient conditions.There was a significant decrease in the band gap of P3HT from 2.2 eV to 1.85 eV in P3HT:CdS composite, which has not been observed previously. The TEM image shows that in-situ
synthesized CdS nanoparticles are evenly distributed in the P3HT network and a significant photoluminescence quenching
of P3HT with CdS suggests its potential application for photovoltaic devices.
