Hydrothermal synthesis of CeF3 nanocrystals and characterization
Source abstract
Abstract
CeF3 nanocrystals with plate-like and perforated morphologies were successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route. The nanocrystals of CeF3@silica can dispersed in aqueous solution were also prepared. The effects of fluoride sources on the morphology and microstructure of the nanocrystals were investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results indicate that the morphology of the rare earth compound nanocrystals can be well tuned by selecting proper fluoride sources. The ultraviolet (UV) absorption peak of the CeF3 nanocrystals is slightly blue shifted along with the decrease of size. And the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of the CeF3 nanocrystals is closely related to size and microstructure as well.
