Highlights: {yields} Template-free solution approach to synthesize CdS hierarchical dendrites. {yields} The 1-butyl-3-methlyimidazole thiocyanate ([BMIM][SCN]) plays doubly functional roles in the progress. {yields} The CdS hierarchical dendrites exhibit a more intense emission at 710 nm belongs to infrared band. -- Abstract: Cadmium sulfide dendrites were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal treatment from CdCl{sub 2} and ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methlyimidazole thiocyanate acted both as sulfur source and surfactant. The product was characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. X-ray powder diffraction studies indicated that the product was well-crystallized hexagonal phase of CdS, and the scanning electron microscopy images showed that the obtained powders consisted of a wealth of well-defined CdS dendritic microstructures with a pronounced trunk and highly ordered branches. The UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy measurements were taken as well. The possible formation mechanism of CdS dendrites was simply proposed in the end.
