Abstract
Thiosemicarbazide was used as the starting material to synthesize CdS crystalline nanowhiskers with uniform width, high aspect ratio and highly crystallized quality. The effects of temperature and reaction time on the nanowhiskers were studied. The length of the CdS nanowires were found to increase with an increase in the reaction time. Results showed the decomposition rates of sulfur precursors as important factor in the formation of CdS nanowhiskers.
