CdS, Cd0.98Gd0.02S, and Cd0.96Gd0.04S quantum dots (QDs) have been fabricated by solvothermal method and found to form in cubic phase. Raman spectra displayed first as well as second order longitudinal modes of CdS QDs. Transmission electron microscopy images depict the nearly spheroid particles of size in the range of 3.8–6.2 nm. Reflectance spectra showed that the absorption edge of the Cd0.98Gd0.02S and Cd0.96Gd0.04S QDs was red-shifted compared to that of CdS QDs. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Cd0.98Gd0.02S and Cd0.96Gd0.04S reveal resonance signals at g ≈ 2.16 and 2.93 corresponding to the gadolinium (III) ions located at sites with frail as well as intermediate crystal field. Exploration of the magnetic property reveals that the Cd0.98Gd0.02S and Cd0.96Gd0.04S QDs show signs of superparamagnetism. The photocatalytic activity of CdS and Cd0.96Gd0.04S QDs was studied on malachite green oxalate dye under artificial solar light irradiation. The decomposition rate of CdS and Cd0.96Gd0.04S QDs evaluated on the malachite green oxalate dye is as follows: Cd0.96Gd0.04S > CdS.
