Controllable synthesis and characterization of cadmium molybdate octahedral nanocrystals by coprecipitation method

CdMoO4 nanocrystals have been synthesized via coprecipitation method by using Cd(Sal)2 and (NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O as starting materials in water. Effects of temperature, reaction time, solvent, surfactant, cadmium and molybdate sources were investigated to reach optimum condition. It was found that particle size, morphology and phase of the final products could be greatly influenced via these parameters.
