Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles were obtained by soft templating methods using either an already established revered micelle route or a new procedure based on gel electrophoresis. The UV‐Vis absorption or the photoluminescence excitation spectra were fitted using the CdS electronic structure available in the literature together with a size distribution. The obtained results indicate that the amount of sodium dodecyl sulphate as a component of the agarose gel formulation has a profound effect on the resulting nanoparticle population.
