Effect of Al doping on photoluminescence and conductivity of 1D CdS nanobelts synthesized by CVD for optoelectronic applications

One-dimensional Al-doped CdS nanobelts were synthesized for the first time via chemical vapor deposition. The vertically synthesized Cd1-xAlxS nanobelts (x ¼ 0e3.09) exhibited high crystallinity. We have reported here an investigation of optical and electrical properties of prepared nanobelts for potential applications in nano-optoelectronics.
