Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of Cdse Nanoparticles for Photovoltaic Applications
Abstract
Cadmium selenide nanoparticle [CdSe] is an important chemical substance gaining great importance and widely used as an additive in the production of various, industrial products like rubber, cosmetics, catalyst, optical materials solar cells etc. CdSe being a wide band gap material and with better lattice matching properties made it suitable option for solar cell applications, the CdSe nano rods are synthesized by a simple solvothermal method at the morphology, phase and the optical properties of Cdse nano particles are studied using powder X-ray diffraction [XRD], High resolution transmission electron microscope [HRTEM], UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, and Photoluminescence [PL] Spectroscopy, the HRTEM images confirm the formation of CdSe nano rods. The presence of elements was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy [FTIR], energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy [EDAX], SEM images showed the morphology of the samples.
