Randomized trial examines structural and optical properties of co-doped CdS nanoparticles, suggesting effective modification of their behavior.

This research aims to explore the structural and optical properties of co-doped CdS nanoparticles synthesized through a hydrothermal method.
Synthesis of pure and co-doped CdS nanoparticles via hydrothermal method with fixed Zn concentration of 10 mol%.
Characterization using X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, and UV-Visible spectroscopy to evaluate structural and optical properties.
Dopants Ni and Sn introduced at concentrations of 2 and 4 mol%.
Crystallite sizes ranged from 20.40 to 44.56 nm, influenced by dopant incorporation.
Optical band gap varied from 5.09 to 5.63 eV, showing alterations in optical properties due to co-doping.
Average visible-light transmittance was approximately 81%, indicating high optical transparency.
