Cd(OH)2 nanorings were synthesized in high yield via a one-step solution phase synthesis process at room temperature, in which the co-existence of ethanol and ammonia is the key factor for the formation of such a ring structure. Further calcination of the Cd(OH)2 nanorings results in the formation of CdO nanorings.
