Annotation

Nanomaterials have gained significant attention due to their size-dependent physical and chemical properties, which differ markedly from bulk materials. Their high surface-to-volume ratio enables control over particle size, morphology, and surface characteristics, enhancing performance in applications such as optoelectronics, photovoltaics, catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicine. Among them, transition metal oxide nanoparticles are particularly important due to their chemical stability, tunable band structure, and versatile properties. Although cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles have been widely studied for synthesis and basic characterization, their behavior under acoustic shockwave loading remains insufficiently explored. Existing literature lacks a systematic understanding of structural and optical modifications induced by shockwaves and their underlying mechanisms. This study addresses these gaps by investigating the synthesis, structural, and optical properties of CdO nanoparticles subjected to acoustic shockwave loading. The work includes synthesis methodology, shockwave treatment, and characterization using PXRD for crystal structure, photoluminescence for optical properties, and SEM for morphology and particle size distribution, providing insight into shock-induced modifications.
