In the present work, CdO nanocrystals are directly synthesized on the conducting Cd foil through a simple solvothermal method. Cd foil is used as the Cd2＋ source and the substrate. The average size of CdO nanocrystals is -23.1 nm by analyzing the XRD data. Moreover the growth mechanism is discussed. A hierarchic structure characterized by the nano rods and nano particles in the top and bottom layers, respectively, can be observed. From the UV-vis absorption analyzed by Taucs relation, the two different optical band gaps are obtained. The photoluminescence spectrum is obtained and studied.展开更多
