Selective synthesis of monoclinic and tetragonal phase LaVO4 nanorods via oxides-hydrothermal route
Source abstract
Abstract
Pure monoclinic (m-) and tetragonal (t-) LaVO4 nanorods are successfully obtained via a facile oxides-hydrothermal method, in which V2O5 and La2O3 bulk powders are directly utilized as precursors without pretreatment. It is found that ethylenediamine tetraacetic disodium salt (EDTA) is a key factor for synthesizing t-LaVO4. The as-obtained products are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The FTIR spectra of VO4 around 800 cm−1 are suggested as an effective auxiliary means to identify the crystal phase of LaVO4. UV–Visible spectra of LaVO4 nanomaterials are obvious blue shift compared with the bulk m-LaVO4 materials. The different photoluminescent properties of Eu3+ doped m- and t-LaVO4 are demonstrated. A dissolution–precipitation mechanism is mainly responsible for the anisotropic morphology and phase control evolution of the LaVO4 nanocrystals. The oxides-hydrothermal system is also applicable to prepare other pure LnVO4 (Ln3+: Nd3+, Y3+, Sm3+) and doped LnVO4 nanomaterials.
