Synthesis and characterization of nanostructural hydrogel and template for CdS nanofibers.
Hydrogels based on beta-D-glucopyranoside-substituent thiosemicarbazide derivatives were synthesized and used as template to fabricate netlike CdS nanofibers. The self-assembling properties of the hydrogels and their effect on the synthesis of CdS nanostructure were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectra, UV-visible absorption spectra and X-ray diffraction revealed that pi-pi stacking, hydrogen bonds and interdigitated interactions between hydrophobic chains had influence on the formation of self-assembled lamellar hydrogel. Transmission electron microscopic and electron diffraction observation showed the formation of hexagonal stacking nanofiber-based CdS semiconductor materials. The transmission electron microscopic pictures of the CdS nanostructure in difference growth stages revealed the growth mechanism of CdS nanofibers templated by hydrogel.
