Insight Into

In this work, two synthesis routes were applied to investigate the effect of citrates on the construction of the ZnO structure. Well-dispersed ZnO plates with (001) facet highly exposed were prepared via one-step hydrothermal route, while ZnO nanoparticles were obtained via two-step route. In one-step route, citrates were added before the formation of Zn(OH)2 precursor, while citrates were added after the formation of Zn(OH)2. For the first time, the interaction between citrates and the Zn(OH)2 precursor was investigated and citrates that participated in the formation of Zn(OH)2 were the main cause for (001) facet exposed structure construction. A growth mechanism about the formation of ZnO plates in the presence of citrates was proposed. The as-prepared ZnO plates showed enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB).

Hexagonal phase NaYF4: Eu3+ materials were successfully synthesized by a facile EDTA-assisted hydrothermal route. The microstructure, morphology and luminescence property of the as-synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, HRTEM and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The pristine NaYF4: Eu3+ microprisms have uniform size and morphology with 3-4 micrometers in length and ca. 500 nm in diameter. The annealing treatment afterwards achieved high crystallinity, and moreover, had a remarkable influence on morphologies of the NaYF4: Eu3+ sample. In comparison with the pristine sample, the annealed NaYF4: Eu3+ microcrystals had a markedly enhancement of down-conversion (DC) luminescence properties, which may be due to the high crystallinity and large surface roughness resulted from annealing treatment.
