Popis: Present report deals with the synthesis of nanocrystalline cadmium oxide (CdO) using low-cost acetate precursor based modified sol–gel technique. Final product was sintered at different temperatures and studied for their structural, optical and electrical properties. In this present work, we report the sintering temperature-dependent structural, optical and electrical properties of nanocrystalline cadmium oxide (CdO) grown by cost effective sol–gel method. Structural properties of CdO materials were investigated by X–ray diffraction (XRD) which reveals the crystalline phase of the samples without any detectable impurity within the range of measurements. Crystallite size (CS), calculated using Scherer’s formula, is found in the range of nanometer (
