摘要
Multiwalled carbon nanotube-CdS/polyvinyl alcohol (MWCNT-CdS/PVA) composites have been grown by a simple chemical process on one-dimensional templates. The plane-view transmission electron micrographs clearly indicate the formation of nanocrystalline CdS on the nanotube surfaces. The superior dielectric behavior of the MWCNT-CdS nanostructures over MWCNT and PVA host matrices has been demonstrated. The dc and ac transport properties of CdS carbon nanotube-insulating polymer nanocomposites have been studied using impedance spectroscopy. An enhancement in optical band gap of nanocomposites over the bulk CdS has been observed due to the quantum confinement effect in CdS nanocrystals. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.
