Abstract CdS micropheres were prepared by a hydrothermal microemulsion method in cyclohexane/Triton X‐100/pentanol/water at 180 °C. The as‐prepared samples were characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, energy diffraction X‐ray analysis and photoluminescence spectra. It was found that CdS microspheres with diameter of 1.5–2.5µm were aggregated by nanocrystals. The formation mechanism was proposed.
