Abstract

The paper describes the physical characterization of CdS nanoparticles, green synthesized using Termitomyces heimii mushroom extract. The CdS samples obtained are wurtzite type. The amount of extract used for synthesis affects the particle size. FT-IR spectra confirmed the presence of proteins as well as the formation of CdS. A blue shift of the absorption maximum based on particle size was observed in the UV–Vis spectra. The size of the nanocrystallites estimated from the XRD and UV–Vis studies were in 3–5 nm range which is in conformity with the results obtained from the SEM and TEM studies. Electronic polarizability of the CdS samples has been estimated. The study presents a simple, cost effective and eco-friendly method of CdS nanoparticle (size < 5 nm) synthesis suitable for large scale production.
