PREPARATION AND PHOTOLUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF NdVO4 NANOTUBES IN AAO TEMPLATE

    Porous anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template was combined with sol-gel method in this work for the fabrication of high-ordered NdVO4 nanotube arrays. The diameter, length, and wall thickness of the nanotubes can be adjusted conveniently. The sample was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), absorption spectra, and photoluminescence spectra. The results show that these uniformly distributed, high-ordered, and parallel nanotubes have great light emission in both the visible region and near-infrared region due to their corresponding energy level transitions. With this method, future application of rare-earth hollow nanostructures will be widely extended.
