In this study, Eu(OH)(3) with various shape-controlled morphologies and sizes were successfully synthesized through hydrothermal reactions. The effects of initial pH value and reaction temperature on the crystalline phase and morphology of the products were investigated, with a proposed formation process to control the morphologies and sizes of europium products by adjusting the hydrothermal temperature and initial pH value of the starting solution.
Eu(OH)(3) with various shape-controlled morphologies and size, such as plate, rod, tube, prism and nanoparticles was successfully synthesized through simple hydrothermal reactions. The products were characterized by XRD (X-Ray Powder Diffraction), FE-SEM (Field Emission- Scanning Electron Microscopy) and TG (Thermogravimetry). The influence of the initial pH value of the starting solution and reaction temperature on the crystalline phase and morphology of the hydrothermal products was investigated. A possible formation process to control morphologies and size of europium products by changing the hydrothermal temperature and initial pH value of the starting solution was proposed.
