abstract = {The block copolymer templating sol–gel synthesis of a
novel class of ternary oxide nanomaterials is reported.
NdVO$_4$, EuVO$_4$, GdVO$_4$, DyVO$_4$, YVO$_4$, and
TmVO$_4$ have been prepared as open mesoporous films by the
dip-coating method using hydrated rare-earth nitrate salt
precursors along with vanadium oxytrichloride. All materials
crystallize in the tetragonal ZrSiO$_4$-type structure with
space group I4$_1$/amd. Short-term treatment at 550 °C is
found sufficient to initiate crystallization.
Characterization via X-ray and electron diffraction, Raman
and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and time-of-flight
secondary ion mass spectrometry confirms the single-phase
nature and uniformity of the different orthovanadates with
tailorable crystallite sizes. The integrated results from
electron and atomic force microscopy, Kr physisorption, and
in situ and ex situ synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray
scattering reveal that the porosity persists throughout the
thickness of films, and the mesoscopic ordering is retained
even after heating in air at 700 °C. Photobleaching
experiments indicate that the sol–gel derived materials,
showing an indirect band gap transition at 3.8 ± 0.1 eV,
exhibit good photocatalytic properties—the activity is
highly superior to that of bulk films of the same nominal
composition. Moreover, when doping GdVO$_4$, YVO$_4$, and
solid solution GdVO$_4$–YVO$_4$ with trivalent rare-earth
ions such as Eu$^{3+}$, Dy$^{3+}$, Er$^{3+}$, or Tm$^{3+}$
ions, the films hold promise as phosphors for lighting
applications, which might pave the way toward development of
(3-dimensional) intricate nanocomposites with unprecedented
functionalities.},
