Abstract

Uniform hexagonal Cd(OH) ₂ nanoplates have been produced directly on Cd substrates by a hydrothermal process in alkaline solution containing (NH ₄) ₂S ₂O ₈ without the use of templates or surfactants. The Cd foil serves as both the Cd source and substrate. The morphology, structure, and composition of the Cd(OH) ₂ nanoplates are characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Cd(OH) ₂ nanoplates are single-crystalline and possess a well defined hexagonal shape. The thicknesses of hexagonal Cd(OH) ₂ nanoplates range from 30 to 80 nm and the lateral lengths are about 80-200 nm. The growth mechanism is also discussed.
