Original SILAR production of Cd(O2)0.88(OH)0.24 and its conversion to CdO were found.
Crystalline structure of CdO obtained is not different from that in bulk crystals.
The thickness of the film is controlled with the number of cycles.
The CdO and Cd(O2)0.88(OH)0.24 has a similar photocatalytic effect
The properties of the CdO films are influenced by annealing process.
