Li, Guicun Chao, Kun Peng, Hongrui Chen, Kezheng Zhang, Zhikun Facile Synthesis of CePO<sub>4</sub> Nanowires Attached to CeO<sub>2</sub> Octahedral Micrometer Crystals and Their Enhanced Photoluminescence Properties CePO<sub>4</sub> nanowires attached to CeO<sub>2</sub> octahedral micrometer crystals have been synthesized on a large scale using a higher molar ratio of Ce<sup>3+</sup> and PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3−</sup> by a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The influences of synthetic parameters, such as reaction time, ratios, and types of reagents, on the morphologies and crystal structures of the resulting products have been investigated. The formation process of CePO<sub>4</sub> nanowires attached to CeO<sub>2</sub> octahedral micrometer crystals is time dependent: CePO<sub>4</sub> nanowires are formed first, and then CeO<sub>2</sub> grows into octahedral micrometer crystal. It is found that the photoluminescence properties of CePO<sub>4</sub> nanowires attached to CeO<sub>2</sub> octahedral micrometer crystals are enhanced strongly in comparison with pure CePO<sub>4</sub> nanowires due to the synergic effects of CePO<sub>4</sub> nanowires and CeO<sub>2</sub> octahedral micrometer crystals. reaction time;CeO 2 Octahedral Micrometer Crystals;crystal structures;Enhanced Photoluminescence PropertiesCePO 4 nanowires;CePO 4 Nanowires Attached;CeO 2;photoluminescence properties;Facile Synthesis;formation process;CePO 4 nanowires;molar ratio;CeO 2 octahedral micrometer crystals;hydrothermal method;synergic effects;octahedral micrometer crystal 2008-10-23
