Abstract

The bis-(8-hydroxyquinoline) cadmium (Cdq2) complex nanorods were synthesized through surfactant-assisted facile solvothermal process. The formation of Cdq2 nanorods and their average crystallite size was examined through powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Fourier-transform infrared spectrum and UV–vis–NIR spectroscopy were employed to confirm the development of Cdq2 sample and its band gap energy. Photoluminescence (PL) was used for describe optoelectronic properties of Cdq2 nanorods which disclosed prominent peaks at 518 nm and 508 nm in Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) surfactant-capped Cdq2 nanorods designating strong PL emission in green region. The formation of CTAB and SLS capped Cdq2 nanorods was revealed through scanning electron microscope analysis. The CTAB and SLS surfactant-assisted synthesis has enhanced the properties of Cdq2. Henceforth, the simplistic procedure for obtaining Cdq2 nanorods for proficient optoelectronic components.
