摘要：The kinetics of thiourea synthesis of CdS nanoparticles (NPs) in reverse microemulsions of Tergitol Np-4/n-decane was studied in the temperature range of 313−333 K by spectrophotometry, photon-correlation spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The formation of NPs is described by the kinetic model, including two consecutive steps: homogeneous nucleation in a solution as the first step and the autocatalytic growth of NPs due to heterogeneous reaction on a continuously increasing surface as the second step. Effective rate constants of the steps (k1 = 1.52 × 10–2–1.75 × 10–3 s–1 and k2 = 4.9 × 10–1–5.1 × 10–2 M–1 s–1) and effective activation energies (Ea1 = 156 and Ea2 = 149 kJ/mol) were estimated in the pseudo-first-order reaction with respect to cadmium (cCd = 0.9 mM, cThio = 9 mM). The obtained constants were used to calculate the dependence of nanoparticle diameter on the synthesis time (d3 ∼ t). The calculated values correlate well with experimental data of photon-correlation spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
