Synthesis and Characterization of CdO Nanoparticles by Novel Wet Chemical Method

Abstract

Cadmium oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by wet chemical method using cadium chloride monohydrate and NaOH in doubly distilled water solution. Triethylamine was used as a capping agent. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy was carried out for structural characterization, Energy dispersive X-rays spectroscopy was used for element analysis, X-ray diffraction and UV-visible diffused reflectance spectroscopy. The possible formation mechanism has been discussed with the experimental results.
