Abstract

Cadmium oxide (CdO) nanowires in the diameter range of 55-68 nm have been prepared using electrodeposition method. The calcinations of the nanowires have been done at medium temperatures of 450 °C. X-ray diffraction method is employed in order to analyze structural parameters whereas FTIR spectroscopy is used to further confirm the structure of the nanowires. The morphology of the prepared nanowires is analyzed with the FESEM images. The purity and elemental analysis of the synthesized CdO nanowires grown over a silicon substrate have been done using EDX spectra. The electrical properties are studied using a two-probe method with applied voltage ranging from −10 to 10 V and with a variation in temperature from 20 to 200 °C, the current is found to be varying from 6.93 to 21.29 nA. The increase in current with temperature indicates that the present samples can be utilized in various applications such as sensing, supercapacitor and other semiconducting applications.
