CdS nanoparticles have been synthesized and stabilized on unique bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers in situ. The obtained nanocomposite material have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transformed infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results indicated that CdS nanoparticles of about 30 nm diameter deposited on BC nanofibres are well-dispersed in the BC nanofibre-network and the uniform spherical CdS nanoparticles are comprised of nano-sized US crystal. Moreover, the crystallite sizes of CdS crystals are about 8 nm. The nanocomposites would have potential application as photocatalyst, novel luminescence and photoelectron transfer devices.
