Over the past few years, many approaches have been developed progressively to produce
hydrogen (H2) from water under solar light irradiation. This process of fuel production is …

Ordered mesoporous inorganic non-oxide materials attract increasing interest due to their
plenty of unique properties and functionalities and potential applications. Lots of …

CdS crystals with different morphologies, nanorods, sheets, microspheres and irregular
particles have been obtained by changing the solvothermal solvent (ethylenediamine …

We describe a simple cadmium− thiourea complex thermolysis route for the formation of
CdS nanocrystals with controlled dispersity, crystalline phase, composition, average grain …

Nanotechnology is touted as the next logical sequence in technological evolution. This has

We report here straightforward solution-phase methods of preparing CdS NCs with a wide
variety of morphologies, starting with oleylamine as the surfactant or capping agent, and …

A high-temperature reductive sulfuration method is demonstrated to synthesize highly
ordered mesoporous metal sulfide crystallites by using mesoporous silica as hard templates …

We describe the preparation and characterization of (a) discrete, individual motifs and (b)
arrays of crystalline and pure semiconducting transition metal sulfide (CuS, PbS, and CdS) …

Recent progress in the synthesis and applications of MCM-41 based mesoporous materials
is reviewed. Since the independent discovery in the early 1990s by groups in the Japan and …

The effective surface area of the nanostructured materials is known to play a prime role in
catalysis. Here we demonstrate that the shape of the nanostructured materials plays an …
