Abstract

One-dimensional cerium phosphate (CePO4) nanorods were successfully synthesized by a facile and simple solvothermal method at 150 °C for 12 h, using Ce(NO3)3·6H2O and NaH2PO4·2H2O as the starting materials. Phase and morphologie of the as-synthesized CePO4 products, characterized by XRD, FESEM, and TEM, were proved to be perfect and uniform hexagonal CePO4 nanorods with aspect ratio of more than 100. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrometer was used to investigate the optical properties of the as-synthesized hexagonal CePO4 nanorods.
