Abstract  

Using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a template agent, a facile grinding sol-gel process was adopted to prepare earthworm-like LaVO4: Eu3+ mesoporous material with La(NO3)3·6H2O, Eu(NO3)36H2O and NH4VO3 as raw materials. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron energy spectrum (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the BET specific surface area, infrared spectra (IR) and fluorescence spectra (FL). It is found that the as-prepared LaVO4: Eu3+ annealed at 673 K is a typical mesoporous materal with zircon structure of tetragonal phase (t). The specific surface areas and the average pore diameter of the sample is about 179.5 m2/g and 2.56 nm, respectively, and its pore volume and grain size is 0.115 m3/g and 6.40 nm, respectively. The fluorescence results show that the mesoporous LaVO4: Eu3+ exhibits a strong red emission (5D07F2), and a suitable range of annealing temperature can improve its fluorescence properties, but more high annealing temperature (≥1273 K) can rapidly decrease its fluorescence intensity due to demolishing the mesoporous structure of LaVO4: Eu3+.
