Abstract
Traditional imaging has many drawbacks such as a short lifetime and larger particles’sizes as the result the fluorescence property does not long lasting due to the photo-bleaching phenomenon. Via this study, nanocrystal cadmium sulphide has been synthesized and functioned as a quantum dot imaging corresponding to optical properties that vary with particle size. Optical properties of the quantum dots of cadmium sulphide (CdS QDs) can be changed by particles’ size and also of the chemical composition while synthesis such as pH values. In this study, the optical properties of CdS QDs were studied against the change in the pH values by preparing CdS QDs via the colloidal method. Cadmium acetate dehydrated (C4H6CdO4.2H2O) and sodium sulphide (Na2S) are used as the precursors for producing CdS QDs. The pH values are modified by titrating sodium hydroxide (NaOH) into CdS QDs’ aqueous solution. Five pH values of aqueous solutions at pH5, pH7, pH8, pH9 and pH10 were prepared however, agglomeration often occurs during the synthesising process. Therefore, thioglycolic acid (HSCH2CO2H) was used as a stabilizer agent for CdS QDs. UV-vis Spectra have shown blue-shifted when CdS QDs on the alkaline medium due to the nanocrystals’ sizes are decreased. The result from fluorescence spectroscopy has given the CdS QDs in pH8 gives the highest peak compared to others pH values. This happened because at this pH value, the nanocrystalline is able to change to the right position and formed the CdS QDs with high crystallization. Thus, this mechanisms of the occurrence of the trap hole obtained and caused the exciton.
