Synthesis of CdWO4 Nanoflakes and Nanorods by a Sonochemical Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

CdWO4 nanoflakes and nanorods have been successfully prepared through a mild template-free sonochemical method without any surfactants. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the ultrasound irradiation played an important role in the formation of CdWO4 crystals. The results showed that CdWO4 nanoflakes were first formed at the early stage, and CdWO4 nanoflakes were transformed into nanorods as the ultrasonic time was prolonged from 0.5h to 1.5h.
