Title: Rapid synthesis of single-crystalline TbF{sub 3} with novel nanostructure via ultrasound irradiation

Abstract

Graphical abstract: Terbium fluoride (TbF{sub 3}) nanopeanut has been successfully synthesized via a mild sonochemical route from an aqueous solution of terbium nitrate and fluoroborate without any template or organic additive. Research highlights: {yields} Research highlights {yields} TbF3 nanopeanut was prepared via sonochemical method. {yields} The morphologies of TbF3 can be tuned by ultrasound irradiation and fluoride source. {yields} The TbF3 nanopeanut shows high photoluminescence intensity. -- Abstract: Terbium fluoride (TbF{sub 3}) nanopeanut has been successfully synthesized via a mild sonochemical route from an aqueous solution of terbium nitrate and fluoroborate without any template or organic additive. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra were utilized to characterize the synthesized samples. The morphologies and optical properties of the obtained TbF{sub 3} nanopeanut can be tuned by ultrasound irradiation as well as the fluoride source. The prepared TbF{sub 3} nanopeanut shows extraordinarily high room temperature photoluminescence intensity comparing to the products prepared by stirring. The possible formation mechanism is proposed in this paper.
