Mesoporous silica metal oxide (ZnO and CdO) thin films have been used as metal ion precursors to produce the first examples of mesoporous silica metal sulfide (meso-SiO(2) @ZnS, meso-SiO(2) @CdS) or silica metal selenide (meso-SiO(2) @ZnSe, meso-SiO(2) @CdSe) thin films, in which the pore walls are made up of silica and metal sulfide or metal selenide nanoflakes, respectively. A gentle chemical...

The group has developed high quality Cadmium Oxide (CdO) based transparent conductors (TCO) thin films with excellent electrical and optical properties using radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. They demonstrated a significant improvement in the photon flux transmitted through CdO:In compared with commercial Fluorine doped Tin oxide (FTO) for PV technologies relying on the infrared part...

Objective The objective of the study was to determine whether the cadmium-derived materials induce intracellular protein citrullination. Methods Human A549 lung epithelial cells were exposed to cadmium in soluble and nanoparticulate forms represented by cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and cadmium oxide (CdO), respectively, and their combinations with ultrafine carbon black (ufCB) produced by high te...

A ternary ZnO/Ag/CdO nanocomposite was synthesized using thermal decomposition method. The resulting nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The ZnO/Ag/CdO nanocomposite exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation ...

The consequences of zinc oxide (ZnO), Aluminum oxide ( 3 2O Al ) and Titanium oxide (TiO2) on tree growth have been comprehensively investigated in this paper. Zinc oxide (ZnO), II-VI compound semiconductor, is used in varistors in power insulation life. Due to its excellent electrical properties such as nonlinearity of current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, high fast-transient response and hig...

Semiconductor nanoparticles are studied worldwide at present because of their good optical, physical and chemical properties. In this research work, a set of Zn doped cadmium oxide (Cd1-xZnxO1-δ) nanoparticles were synthesized by simple chemical precipitation route. The precursor materials used in this research work were cadmium nitrate and zinc nitrate (as basic materials) and sodium hydroxide...

This paper describes the accidental poisoning of five workers by cadmium fume. The men were dismantling a frame of girders in a confined space by cutting bolts with an oxyacetylene burner. They were unaware at the time that the bolts were cadmium-plated or that this presented a serious industrial hazard. The paper sets out to give an appreciation of acute cadmium poisoning, the characteristics ...

optical modeling was applied for obtaining absorbance spectra and band gap values for different morphology of zno semiconductor. in optical modeling, the relative permittivity scalars of zinc oxide coral like nanorods were calculated using the bruggeman homogenization formalism. zno nano rods (zonrs) as a nucleus layer were fabricated on the indium tin oxide (ito) by chronoamperometry (ca) in a...

In recent years, researchers have focused on cadmium oxide (CdO) due to its applications, specifically in the field of optoelectronic devices such as solar cells [2-3], photo transistors [4] and diodes [5], transparent electrodes [6], gas sensors [7], etc. These applications of CdO are based on its specific optical and electrical properties. For example, CdO films show a high transparency in th...
