Ce3+-doped neodymium phosphate nanostructures: controllable synthesis, influencing factors, and photoluminescence properties

Wire-like and flower-like cerium ion (Ce3+)-doped neodymium phosphate nanostructures (NdPO4:Ce3+ NSs) were synthesised via a direct precipitation process at room temperature. The different reaction conditions such as the phosphate anion source, solvent, and surfactant were carried out to discuss the influence for the morphologies and photoluminescence (PL) properties. Experimental results showed t...
