Abstract
A simple and effective template-mediated protocol has been developed for the large-scale, room-temperature preparation of high-aspect-ratio, single-crystalline Tb-doped CePO(4) nanowires, measuring approximately 12 nm in diameter and over 10 mum in length. Moreover, we also isolated sheaf-like bundles of nanostructures. The synthesis mechanism likely involved a crystal splitting step. The resulting nanowires demonstrated an intense redox-sensitive green photoluminescence, which was exploited, in addition to their inherently high biocompatibility and low toxicity, for potential applications in biological imaging and labeling of cells.
