Abstract:

Synthesis of nanomaterials is highly demanded due to the development of nanodevices. Nanostructures or microstructures of binary oxides such as TiO2, ZnO and Al2O3 have been extensively prepared and studied. The synthesis of ternary oxide nanomaterials with controlled structures, morphologies and sizes are of interest due to the potential application in nanodevices caused by tunable energy level, bandgap and structure. In this work, we use solution based method to prepare CaWO4 and LaPO4 ternary oxide nanomaterials by microwave technique. Controlled sizes and morphologies including nanorods and microspheres are synthesized by microwave method, which is believed to be a simple and low cost technique for scaling up synthesis of ternary oxide nanomaterials. In addition, the short-time consuming process enables the high efficiency of the production. Structural and optical properties of the prepared nanomaterials are investigated in this work. We believe that this work points out a new research direction ternary oxide synthesis.
