Abstract: Three different synthetic routes were used for the preparation of CdS nanoparticles and the samples were characterized structurally and optically. Sample composition, dimension and quantum confinement excitations are discussed and compared. Sharp edges present in the absorbance spectra indicated that these systems are promising for optoelectronic and photonic device applications.
