The deposition of CdS on MWCNT has been successfully achieved by an attaching noncovalent chemical approach. The PCE of CdS@MWCNT nanohybrids was found to be as high as 4.54%, contrasting sharply with the value (1.67%) of the pure CdS nanoparticles.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents the preparation of multi-walled carbone nanotubes (CNTs) and CdS nanoparticles based hybrid materials. We aim at comparing two kinds of CNTs’ functionalization by thiol groups in order to demonstrate that the surface chemistry done on the CNTs can direct the morphology of the nanohybrids. Indeed, strong oxidation of CNTs leads to shorter nanotubes opened at their ends, allowing the grafting of mercaptotriethoxysilane whereas the generation of diazonium salts in presence of pristine nanotubes should lead to the functionalization of the whole lateral surface of the nanotubes. CdS nanoparticles can then be anchored to thiol groups, leading to interesting hybrid precursors for photovoltaic applications.

AbstractCarbon nanotubes (CNT) are interesting candidates for the reinforcement in robust composites and for conducting fillers in polymers due to their fascinating electronic and mechanical properties. For the first time, we report the incorporation of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) into silica-glass surfaces by means of partial surface-melting caused by a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. MWNTs were detected being well incorporated in the silica-surface. The composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman-spectroscopy. A model for the composite-formation is proposed based on heatabsorption by MWNTs and a partial melting of the silica-surface.
