Novel nanostructure of cadmium selenide synthesized by solvothermal method and their characterization

A novel nanostructure of CdSe in presence of CTAB, synthesized via solvothermal process, has been reported. The structural, morphological, optical and dielectric properties of the synthesized CdSe nanostructure have been studied. The synthesized CdSe nanostructure has pure wurtzite structure with average particle diameter of 16 nm and length 160 nm as confirmed by SEM. The band gap of the observed nanostructure is found to be 2.2 eV. The photoluminescence, FTIR and dielectric properties of the prepared nanostructutre have been discussed.
