Title: A novel reduction-hydrolysis method of preparing VO{sub 2} nanopowders

Journal Article · · Materials Research Bulletin
OSTI ID:20888062

A novel and convenient reduction-hydrolysis method was developed to make high-purity VO{sub 2} nanopowders. The products have been studied with XRD, IR, XPS, and DTA. The nanopowders exhibited a strong crystallographic transition to the rutile-type structure around 68-72 deg. C. The XRD patterns and TEM images of products showed that the average size of samples was in the range of 30-40 nm. The XPS results demonstrated that the vanadium exists as V{sup 4+} ions in the products. We also found that the phase transition temperature of products decreased by tungsten doping.
