In this work, cadmium-sulphide nanocrystals are studied, which are obtained by the electrolytic method using cadmium electrodes and an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulphate as an electrolyte. X-ray structural studies are carried out, and the composition of the obtained samples is determined. The parameters of the crystal lattice are established, and the sizes of the nanocrystals are calculated using the Debye–Scherrer formula, the Williamson–Hall method, and the size-deformation method. As revealed, the obtained cadmium sulphide nanocrystals contain two phases: sphalerite and wurtzite; the volume content of these two phases is also determined.
KEY WORDS: nanocrystals, cadmium sulphide, electrolytic method for fabrication of nanocrystals, x-ray diffraction analysis, crystal-lattice parameter, nanoparticle sizes, Debye–Scherrer formula, Williamson–Hall method, size-deformation method
