Abstract

The study presents nanocomposite materials based on Cd_xZn_1-xS, synthesized as thin films and nanoparticles through two distinct techniques—sonochemical and SILAR synthesis techniques. The characteristics of these materials were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In the sonochemical approach, samples were prepared with three different stabilizers for comparative analysis to determine influence of type of the stabilizers. Meanwhile, the SILAR approach created thin layers with different components (distinctive x value-Cd_xZn_1-xS) at various grown temperatures utilizing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a substrate. At the same time, nanocomposite materials compared of same x value for Cd_xZn_1-xS composite materials by sonochemical and SILAR synthesis technique depending on technological condition.
