Solvothermal synthesis of nanosized particles of vanadium oxide

Аннотация

The interaction of vanadyl acetate, vanadium(V) oxide, and vanadium(V) isopropylate with capronic acid has afforded a series of nanosized vanadium oxide powders. The products structure has been studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Both amorphous and crystalline powders of vanadium oxide can be prepared depending on the starting compound, temperature, and the synthesis duration, the V₂O₃ (karelianite) structure being in all the cases the most thermodynamically stable. Photocatalytic properties of the prepared powders have been studied.
