• LEDs and photovoltaic cells [19][20][21][22][23]. Previously, we reported the synthesis and characterisation of CdS quantum dots in polystyrene beads, in which beads ranging in size from 100 nm to 500 μm were prepared and confocal microscopy showed an even distribution of CdS throughout the polymer
