CdMoO 4 powders with well‐controlled shapes, including sphere, cake, cubic sugar, flake, and floccule have been successfully synthesized by a low‐temperature (≤90°C) hydrothermal method. The effects of pH, reaction time, and temperature on the crystalline size and shape were explored by using X‐ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Room‐temperature photoluminescence spectra of the as‐synthesized CdMoO 4 crystallites were also investigated, which showed that their optical properties obviously relied on the particle size and morphology of CdMoO 4 powders.
