Tetrapod-shaped CdS colloidal nanocrystals are synthesized using a facile, phosphine-free synthesis approach at low temperature. The arm length and diameter of CdS tetrapods can be easily tuned by using different source of sulphureous precursors, i.e., sulfur powder, thioacetamide, and sodium diethy...
