Mixed-solvothermal synthesis of hybrid nanostructures of alkaline earth phenylphosphonates

摘要

Hybrid nanostructures such as nanoflowers, nanosheets and nanoribbons of the alkali earth phenylphosphonates were prepared via mixed-solvothermal approaches by reaction of alkali earth metal salt with phenylphosphonate in ethylene glycol. The final products have been characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Thermogravimetry (TG). Effects of reaction parameters on the formation of two-dimensional nanostructure were discussed. This work may provide a simple and effective approach to control the microstructures of the metal phenylphosphonates, which will be of great importance for the controlled synthesis of hybrid nanostructures and further applications.
