Abstract
This letter first describes a facile, low-cost, solution-phase approach to the large-scale preparation of lanthanum hydroxide single crystal nanorods at 60 °C without any template and surfactant. X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that the nanorods are of pure hexagonal structure. The size and morphology of the products were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Lanthanum hydroxide single crystal nanorods are with diameters of approximately 20 nm and lengths of 150-200 nm. The processes of formation and decomposition for the as-prepared lanthanum hydroxide nanorods were discussed.
