Abstract

AbstractUniform lanthanum hydroxide nanorods were successfully synthesized in large quantities through a facile hydrothermal synthetic method, in which soluble lanthanum nitrate was used to supply the lanthanum source and triethylamine (TEA) was used as both alkaline agent and complexing agent. The influences of triethylamine amount, surfactant, reaction temperature and time on the size and shape of lanthanum hydroxide nanorods were investigated in detail. Trivalent rare earth ion doped lanthanum hydroxide nanorods were also obtained in this paper. The phase structures and morphologies of the as‐prepared products were investigated in detail by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The probable formation mechanism was proposed based on the experimental results.
