Abstract
Various low‐dimensional nanostructures, such as nanowires, nanotubes, nanosheets, and fullerene‐like nanoparticles have been selectively synthesized from rare‐earth compounds (hydroxides, fluorides) based on a facile hydrothermal method. The subsequent dehydration, sulfidation, and fluoridation processes lead to the formation of rare‐earth oxide, oxysulfide, and oxyhalide nanostructures, which can be functionalized further by doping with other rare‐earth ions or by coating with metal nanoparticles. Owing to the interesting combination of novel nanostructures and functional compounds, these nanostructures can be expected to bring new opportunities in the vast research areas of and application in biology, catalysts, and optoelectronic devices.Keywords
