Synthesis And Characterisation Of Nanosized Cadmium Oxide

Mahesha N, Arunkumar Lagashetty

Abstract :

Low temperature synthesis of metal oxide nano materials using polymer as a fuel constitute simple and energy efficient synthetic route. Solid state combustion technique is used for the synthesis of oxide materials at nano dimension. Present work reports, solid state preparation of nanosized CdO by thermal decomposition of cadmium oxalate precursor employing polyvinyl alcohol as a fuel. The structure of as synthesised CdO is characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), bonding by Fourier transfer infrared (FTIR), morphology and particle size by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) tools. Crystallite sizes and density measurement of the sample is under taken. The crystallite sizes were calculated using X-ray line oadening and density measurements were under taken by various methods. Crystalline behaviour is observed by XRD pattern and metal -oxygen (Cd-O) bond formation was confirmed by FTIR study.
