Facile Hydrothermal Synthesis and Optical Properties of Monoclinic CePO4 Nanowires with High Aspect Ratio

One-dimensional cerium phosphate (CePO4) nanowires (NWs) were successfully synthesized by a facile and simple hydrothermal method at 200°C for 12 h, using Ce(NO3)3·6H2O and Na3PO4·12H2O as starting materials, and followed by pH adjusting to be 1–3 using HNO3 (conc.). Phase, morphologies, and vibration modes of the as-synthesized CePO4 products, characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and FTIR, were proved to be perfect and uniform monoclinic CePO4 nanowires with aspect ratio of more than 250 for the product synthesized in the solution with the pH of 1. The UV-visible and photoluminescence (PL) spectrometers were used to investigate optical properties of the as-synthesized monoclinic CePO4 nanowires.

Xrd And Tem

One-dimensional rare earth oxides and hydroxides are of importance in many applications due to their rich physicochemical properties. In this work, we synthesized Ln(OH)3(Ln = Eu, Nd, Dy) nanorods by a hydrothermal method with the assistance of n-butylamine as an alkaline resource. The porous Ln2O3nanorods were produced through annealing the corresponding Ln(OH)3nanorods. XRD and TEM techniques were employed to characterize the products. The annealing process and the optical properties of as-synthesized Ln2O3are also investigated by TG and PL test. We expected that these nanomaterials could find potential applications in the future.

Optoelectronic Nanodevices

Zn-doped CdS dendritic nanostructures were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The product displays single-crystalline characteristic. The dendritic crystal is formed by growing along several equivalent directions ([2-1-10],[-1-120]and[-12-10]). Due to doping Zn, the CdS dendritic nanostructures present some beneficial properties and are promising candidates for future applications in optoelectronic nanodevices.
