CdWO4 nanorods: Ultrafast synthesis via a PEG-1000 polymer-assisted enhanced microwave synthesis route and their photoluminescence property

Cadmium tungstate (CdWO4) nanorods have been successfully ultrafast synthesized in several minutes under enhanced microwave irradiation conditions and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and photoluminescence. The products show a very strong photoluminescence peak at 475 nm with the excitation wavelength of 350 nm and a short decay time.
