Abstract

The "benzyl alcohol route" was extended for the synthesis of various metal phosphate nanocrystals. The proposed one pot reaction leads to nanocrystalline titanium, zirconium, vanadium, yttrium and lanthanide phosphates at a yield above 90%. The synthesized particles are characterized by a high crystallinity and a small size distribution.
