Facile Synthesis of Barium-Doped Cadmium Sulfide Quantum Dots for the Treatment of Polluted Water: Experimental and Computational Investigations.

ABSTRACT: In this study, cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) and barium (Ba) (3 and 6 wt %)-doped CdS QDs were synthesized via a hydrothermal technique. The basic purpose of this work is to degrade methylene blue (MB) dye and evaluate density functional theory (DFT). The synthesized samples were characterized through X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), UV-vis spectrophotometer, PL, and density functional theory (DFT). The XRD (structural analysis) confirmed that the hexagonal crystal structure and crystallinity increased upon doping. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis confirmed the polycrystalline na
