From the stone ages to modern history, new materials have often been the enablers of revolutionary technologies. For a wide variety of envisioned applications in space exploration, energy-efficient aircraft, and armor, materials must be significantly stronger, stiffer, and lighter than what is currently available. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extremely high strength, very high stiffness, low density, good chemical stability, and high thermal and electrical conductivities. These superior pro …

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles and their quantum dot version are of a significant interest due to their semiconducting and luminescent properties, especially their controllable emission bands, continuous excitation and the ease of functionalization. Cadmium sulfide (CDS) is particularly used in devices with optoelectronic property and is known to be a direct band gap material at room temperature. Cadmium sulfide has attracted a lot of attention due to an extensive range of applications …
