Synthesis of YVO₄ Nanoparticles with Controllable Morphologies by Solvothermal Method

Abstract:

YVO₄ nanoparticles with various morphologies were tuned directly by hydrothermal treatment in different solutions, including pure water, potassium hydroxide solution, hydrazine hydrate, ethanolamine, triethylamine, and pyridine. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to characterize the structure, morphology, and size of the products, which indicated that tetragonal phase YVO₄ crystallites displaying rod-like, square, and olivary shapes were obtained. It was found that the selected solvents play an important role in modulating the morphology and confining the size of the obtained products.
