Description
Summary:We report a simple, surfactant-assisted room temperature synthesis of metallic cadmium nanoparticle sheets and their subsequent hydrolysis to the formation of rice-shaped monoclinic cadmium hydroxide nanostructures. These new nanostructures have demonstrated 30-40 fold superior electrochemical charge storage capacity along with quantized double layer charging of metal nanoparticles as compared to the bulk cadmium. The synthesis of Cd 0 nanoparticle sheets, their subsequent hydrolysis to Cd(OH) 2 nanorice structures and their electrochemical and thermal properties are reported.
