Abstract

Cadmium Oxide nanostructures with curious morphologies from nanospheres to nanorods were fabricated by a wet chemical approach. Ethylenediamine (EDA) was used as morphology directing organic ligand and function of its concentration was investigated. In the absence of EDA, irregular nanospheres were obtained. Addition of Ethylenediamine in various concentrations had an attentive consequence of morphology. The fabricated samples were characterized by XRD, FESEM, TEM, UV-Vis and FTIR methods. The structural studies exposed the formation of cubic CdO, field emission scanning and transmission electron microscopy were performed to characterize nanostructures. UV-visible absorption and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of EDA passivated nanostructures..

Keywords
