TI  - Synthesis and characterizations of Cd-doped ZnO multipods for environmental 
      remediation application.
PG  - 8453-8
AB  - Well-crystalline Cd-doped ZnO multipods were synthesized by simple and facile 
      hydrothermal process by using zinc chloride, cadmium chloride, 
      hexamethylenetetramine and ammonium hydroxide at low-temperature. The synthesized 
      materials were characterized in terms of their morphological, structural, 
      compositional and optical properties. The morphological investigations done by 
      field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) reveal that the synthesized 
      products are multipods shaped and grown in high density. The structural and 
      compositional properties, observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive 
      spectroscopy (EDS) attached with FESEM and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) 
      spectroscopy exhibit that the synthesized multipods are well-crystalline and 
      possessing wurtzite hexagonal phase pure Cd-doped ZnO. The as-synthesized 
      Cd-doped ZnO multipods exhibited good optical properties as was confirmed by 
      UV-vis. spectroscopy. Finally, the as-synthesized Cd-doped ZnO multipods were 
      used environmental remediation application. For this, the synthesized multipods 
      were used as an effective photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of 
      acridine orange (AO) which exhibit -92.4% degradation within 90 min. This work 
      demonstrates that doped ZnO materials could be used as efficient photocatalyst 
      for the photocatalytic degradation of various organic dyes and chemicals.
