Uniform CePO ₄ nanowires with diameter of about 25 nm were synthesized by the water-in-oil microemulsion method at room temperature from cerous chloride, sodium orthophosphate, sodium chloride, cyclohexane, Triton X-100 and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The crystal structure and morphology of the nanowires were characterized by XRD and TEM,respectively. The UV-vis absorption was detected by UV-vis spectrophotometer techniques. The results showed that as-prepared nanowires with the hexagonal phase have obvious quantum confinement effect and semiconductor characteristics. Little sodium chloride could play a positive role on the formation of CePO ₄ nanowires at room temperature. The size of the nanowires can be controlled through the joining of sodium chloride.
