CdS nanowires with typical length more than 8 {mu}m and width of 30 nm on average have been successfully synthesized through Cd(NO{sub 3}){sub 2} reacting with CS{sub 2} and ethylenediamine in microemulsion system of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SBDS). The microstructures of the as-synthesized CdS nanowires were characterized using XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and HRTEM. The possible formation mechanism was discussed. The morphologies of CdS sample strongly depend on the concentration of surfactant in solutions.
