Abstract

We have succeeded in preparing submicron-sized monodisperse spherical V2O5 particles by hydrolysis of vanadium isopropoxide (VO(OiPr)3) in acetone/pyridine (Py) mixture solution for the first time. These particles had almost perfect spherical shape and were non-agglomerated. Their size could be easily controlled from 200 to 800 nm by changing the concentration of pyridine while keeping narrow size distribution (standard deviation, ca. 7%). Elemental and Fourier Transform Infrared analyses revealed that these particles have a composition of V2O5.xPy.yH2O (x ≈ 0.8, y ≈ 0.9) independent of their size. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that these particles have layered structure similar to that of V2O5.nH2O xerogel with an interlayer spacing of ca. 1.05 nm independent of their size, possibly due to the intercalation of H2O and pyridine between the V2O5 sheets.

17.There are two possible sources of H2O in the present experiments. One is the employed reagents, i.e., acetone and pyridine, since they are not anhydrous reagent. The amounts of H2O contained in these reagents are less than 0.01 wt% (pyridine, Wako pure chemical) and 0.4 wt% (acetone, Nacalai Tesque) according to the suppliers. The other is surrounding air since we performed all the processes under air. Thus, the exact amount of H2O included in the reaction solution is not clear in the present experiments. Effects of H2O are now under investigation [18].Google Scholar
