Abstract

Large-scale Y2O3:Eu nanotubes have been successfully fabricated by an improved sol–gel method within the nanochannels of porous anodic alumina templates. In this method, yttrium nitrate, europium nitrate and urea were used as precursors, yttrium nitrate and europium nitrate were acting as sources of europium and yttrium ions, and urea offered a basic medium through its hydrolysis. X-ray diffraction techniques, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and selected-area electron diffraction were used to characterize the Y2O3:Eu nanotubes obtained. It is found that the prepared Y2O3:Eu nanotubes can be indexed as a polycrystalline cubic structure and their outer diameters are about 50–80 nm, with the thickness of the tube wall estimated to be around 5 nm. The emission peaks of the as-prepared Y2O3:Eu nanotubes are broader than those of bulk Y2O3:Eu because of the disordering of the crystal phase possibly induced by the increase of the surface/volume ratio in the nanotubes.

Abstract

The mass preparation of SnO2 nanobelts and nanowires has been achieved by carrying out the reaction of SnO2 powder and graphite at 1150°C. A metallic catalyst and vacuum conditions are not necessary. The temperature of the substrates and the concentration of oxide vapour were the critical experimental parameters for the formation of different morphologies of SnO2 nanostructures. The as-synthesized SnO2 nanobelts formed in region II are single crystalline with a [101] growth axis, with widths ranging from 50 to 500 nm, width-to-thickness ratios of 5–10, and lengths up to a few millimetres.

Abstract

Alumina nanowire arrays standing on the surface of a porous anodic alumina membrane have been achieved by first forming a porous anodic alumina membrane with parallel Y-branched nanochannels by reducing the applied anodizing voltage by a factor of [inline image] in the anodization process of high-purity Al foil, and then chemically etching the Y-branched nanochannel alumina membrane in an aqueous phosphoric acid solution. The novel nanostructures may be used for two-dimensional photonic bandgap structural materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
