Study of Anti-Cancer Properties of Thin Layers of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) Nanostructure

Abstract

Thin layers of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) with various volumes of Cadmium acetate solution (60, 80 and 90 ml) were deposited using spray pyrolysis technique over a glassy substrate. Samples were investigated using FESEM images, XRD and UV-V is spectra as well as I-V characteristic. It was found that all samples were grown up with polycrystalline nanostructures along the preferred direction of (002). In addition, it was found that grew up samples in the volume of 80 (ml) are of optimum anti-cancer properties condition in visible range regarding optimum structural (largest crystallite size and lowest crystallite defect density) and optical (smallest band gap and highest light absorption) conditions.
