title: Microemulsion-mediated solvothermal synthesis and photoluminescent properties of europium tungstate nanostructures.
abstract: The controlled synthesis of Eu2(WO4)3 nanostructures with different morphologies, namely ellipsoidlike, rodlike, cubelike, rod-bundlelike, and mesoporous spindlike, has been successfully achieved by the cationic surfactant-CTAB (cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide)-microemulsion-mediated and anionic surfactant-SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate)-microemulsion-mediated solvothermal method separately. Various comparison experiments showed that fundamental experimental parameters, such as the water content, reaction temperature and the type of surfactants played important roles in the morphological control of Eu2(WO4)3 nanostructures. The possible growth mechanisms of these nanocrystals were elucidated in detail.
