The mild and simple solution method was used for the synthesis of Co2+- and Ni2+-doped CdO powders at room temperature. The prepared powders were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), optical absorption, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). From the powder X-ray diffraction patterns, it has been observed that the prepared Co2+ and Ni2+ ion-doped CdO powders belong to the cubic phase, and the evaluated average crystalline sizes of the powders are 20 and 14 nm, respectively. The SEM images and the EDS spectra show that the prepared powders are distributed over different sizes in the grain boundaries. Optical absorption studies allow determination of site symmetry of the metal ion with its ligands. The crystal field (Dq) and inter-electronic repulsion (B and C) parameters have been evaluated from the optical absorption spectra. The FTIR spectra show the characteristic fundamental vibrations of the metal oxide and CdO.
