Abstract

The majority of synthesis routes to produce cadmium containing nanomaterials have been given in previous chapters. However, in order to conclude the on-going discussions, the description of some additional techniques which have been utilized to prepare these materials is still due. Keeping this into view, the preparation of cadmium based nanomaterials by using mechanical, radiation based and biological synthesis is given in this chapter. The discussion on biological methods mentions, how enzymes and bacteria are helpful in synthesis of Cd-based nanomaterials. The synthesis strategy and principles of photochemical method are also described herein. The role of microwave irradiation process used to initiate chemical reactions for preparation of the inorganic nanomaterials are also discussed. Gamma irradiation synthesis technique has also been found to enhance the growth mechanism of the nanomaterials. The fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials prepared by using sonochemical, plasma and mechano-chemical methods have also been given in detail.
