Abstract
α-Zn 3(PO 4) 2·4H 2O nanosheets, nanoplates and microspheres constructed by nanosheets have been successfully synthesized by an aqueous solution method at room temperature without using any surfactants or templates. X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples. The shape evolution of α-Zn 3(PO 4) 2·4H 2O is related to the pH value in the reaction system. This simple method might be useful for the synthesis of nanostructures of other phosphates.
