Abstract:

A solution-solid method is developed to construct cerium phosphate (CePO4) nanofibers. Tetraphosphoric acid formed the condensed linear polyphosphate (PnO3n+1)(n+2)-before reacting with cerium carbonate (Ce2(CO3)3) powder, which was favourable for one dimensional CePO4 nanofibers forming. The growth mechanism was proposed based on solution-solid process. CePO4 nanofibers display strong UV luminescence emission and weak blue emission.

Key words: Cerium phosphate, Nanofiber, Nanostructure, Solution-solid method
