title: Microemulsion-based solvothermal synthesis of aluminium orthophosphate nanocrystals.
abstract: Aluminium orthophosphate (AlPO(4)) nanocrystals were synthesized by a microemulsion-based solvothermal approach. The reaction temperature and concentration of reactants as well as the molar ratio of the two reactants have significant effects on the shape and size of the AlPO(4) nanocrystals obtained. A possible formation mechanism for the AlPO(4) nanocrystals with different shapes is discussed.
