Cadmium yellows are a class of pigments based on cadmium sulfide (CdS) that can suffer degradation [1-4]. Although the degradation mechanism has been elucidated [5], the reasons behind the higher reactivity of some CdS are still unclear. It has been hypothesized that the higher reactivity can be related to an imperfect synthesis method [2-3]. This work shows that pigments synthesized following different routes [6-7] present different degrees of degradation in paints after artificial ageing. Moreover, the development of degradation products depends on the synthesis method and the photoluminescence emission from trap states [8] can be modified following degradation. Results obtained on in-laboratory prepared paints will be compared to historical degraded CdS paints from real paintings.
