Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

Methods were developed for the synthesis of quantum-sized particles of CdTe, stabilized in aqueous solutions of thioglycolic acid, using H2Te or NaHTe produced in situ by electrochemical reduction of tellurium. The spectral and optical characteristics of the synthesized CdTe nanoparticles were studied. It was found that they have photocatalytic activity in the reduction of methylviologen with sodium sulfite.
