摘要

CdO nanoparticles were fabricated using [Cd(toua)].H2O (1) and [Cd(Htoua)(NO3)(H2O)]n (2) (where toua = 3,6,9-trioxaundecanedioate and Htoua = 3,6,9-trioxaundecaneoic acid) as templates via calcination and were characterized using various techniques. The average particle sizes of CdO were found to be 27.77 and 28.96 nm. SEM analysis revealed a morphological transformation from agglomerated nanoparticles (CdO_2) to nano-spikes (CdO_1). These nanoparticles showed selective adsorption towards cationic dye over an anionic dye. The %degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) by CdO_1 was found to be 50.5% while it is 39.4% by CdO_2 in just 4 h. The scavenger analysis reveals that OH⋅is responsible for the photocatalytic degradation of MB.
