Abstract

The anisotropic CdS platelets were synthesized in the lamellar bilayer phase region of the octylamine-water binary system. The influence of the synthesis conditions of the system components on morphology and size of the platelets was examined. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies have shown thickness and face size of the synthesized particles. Platelets with face sizes ranging from 50 to 250 nm and thickness from 10 to 30 nm have been synthesized at room temperature. In addition, HRTEM micrographs show that the synthesized platelets are poly crystal.
