Abstract: CdS nanorods were synthesized by a soft chemistry method using cadmium nitrate and thioacetamide as starting compounds and DMF as solvent at low temperature(~50℃). The CdS nanorods have diameters of 7~20nm and lengths up to 500nm. Measurements including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-Ray diffraction(XRD) and energy-dispersive spec- troscopy(EDS) were carried out to study the microstructure of the samples. The nanoporous sol templates formed by the controlled hydrolysis and condensation of Ti(OC4H9)4 in the presence of AcAc provide an effective matrix for the growth of CdS nanorods.

Key words: CdS nanorods, sol templates, controlled growth
