Nanoparticles cadmium molybdate was prepared by ultrasonic method using cadmium(II) nitrate hexahydrate and ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate were used as precursor materials. To the best of authors' knowledge, it is the first time that cadmium molybdate was synthesized by ultrasonic method. The as synthesized nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. To evaluate the catalytic properties of nanocrystalline cadmium molybdate, the photocatalytic degradation of 2-naphthol under visible light irradiation was carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
