What is it about?

simple one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of Cd(OH)2 with a platelet-like morphology, which was subsequently annealed at relatively high temperatures to produce a CdO/Cd(OH)2 nanocompositeز

Why is it important?

The control of thermal treatment allowed tunable charge transport across the nanometre scale due to the presence of CdO and Cd(OH)2 mixed nanocrystals.

Perspectives

The CdO/Cd(OH)2 nanocrystals offer interesting prospects for the electrocatalytic oxidation of nitrite ions and for supercapacitor applications. The CdO/Cd(OH)2 nanocomposite was blended with a trace amount of gold NPs for enhancing the electrochemical conductivity and electrocatalytic capability for nitrite oxidation with a sensitivity of 32.9 μA mM−1
