By regulating the molar ratio of yttrium and fluoride, hydrothermal temperature and reaction time, the phase and shape of sodium yttrium fluoride were commendably controlled. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum （EDS） techniques. It was revealed that the hollow-structured Na（Y1.5Na0.5）F6 nanotubes self-assembled and arrayed orientedly to be bamboo raft-shaped. The formation of hexagonal Na（Y1.5Na0.5）F6 nanotube arrays was attributed to solid-liquid-solid process and Oswald ripening. This study provided a simple method to prepare hexagonal bamboo raft-shaped Na（Y1.5Na0.5）F6 on a large scale, which broadened their practical applications.展开更多
