Resumo

CdS nanoparticles have been synthesized and stabilized on unique bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers in situ. The obtained nanocomposite material have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results indicated that CdS nanoparticles of about 30 nm diameter deposited on BC nanofibres are well-dispersed in the BC nanofibre-network and the uniform spherical CdS nanoparticles are comprised of nano-sized CdS crystal. Moreover, the crystallite sizes of CdS crystals are about 8 nm. The nanocomposites would have potential application as photocatalyst, novel luminescence and photoelectron transfer devices.
