We report the Cd-cysteine precursor nanowire templated microwave-assisted transformation route to CdS nanotubes. In this method, the Cd-cysteine precursor nanowires are synthesized using CdCl2 center dot 2.5H(2)O, L-cysteine and ethanolamine in water at room temperature. The Cd-cysteine precursor nanowires are used as the source material and template for the subsequent preparation of CdS nanotubes by a microwave-assisted transformation method using ethylene glycol or ethanol as the solvent. This method has the advantages of the simplicity and low cost, and may be extended to the synthesis of nanotubes of other compounds. The products are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
