Abstract
Novel flower-like CeF 3 nanostructures with a mean diameter of 190 nm were successfully synthesized via a rapid and facile microwave irradiation route using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium as the complexing reagent. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). XRD patterns showed that the CeF 3 nanoflowers were hexagonal phase and had good crystallinity and purity. TEM and SEM images showed that the as-prepared CeF 3 samples displayed 3D flower-like nanostructures and had uniform sizes and morphologies. The experimental results revealed that the as-prepared CeF 3 nanoflowers might be assembled by nanodisks. The formation process of the CeF 3 nanoflowers was preliminarily investigated.
