The ZrW2O8 family of materials has been shown to display the unusual property of an isotropic bulk contraction in volume with the rising of temperature. They have a number of potential applications, for example, they would be widely used in composite material and solid electrolyte based on its characteristic of negative thermal expansion and ionic conductive property. In this paper, an Al3+,V5+ double substitute negative thermal expansion (NTE) solid solution Zr1-xAlxMoW1-yVyO8 was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The phase composition, the micromorphology and the thermal expansion coefficient were obtained by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and thermal mechanical analyzer (TMA), respectively. The results show that the sample’s density rises with the increasing of the content of V5+, while, its porosity declines. The thermal expansion coefficients of the samples are between -3.0~4.0×10-6 K-1, it indicates that their negative thermal expansion behavior is a little lower than that of ZrMoWO8. And the experiment also shows that these samples have displayed a fine behavior of heat shock resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
