“…The appearance of NiTe 2 O 5 in low amount can be ascribed to the calcination step, taking into account that this phase can be generated by the Ni 3 TeO 6 decomposition at high temperature. 25,40 This fact highlights the relevance of using synchrotron radiation XRD to characterize the crystalline structure of inorganic materials. 41 The CTO_H samples (Figure 1b) show characteristic diffraction peaks at 2θ = 20.93, 25.90, 30.10, 37, 25, 43.42, 54.07, 56.52, 63.48, 70.05, and 76.377°, which correspond to the characteristic peaks of (200), (211), (220), ( 222), (400), (422), (431), (440), (600), and (622) lattice planes of Cu 3 TeO 6 (PDF 01-074-1255), respectively, related to the Cu 3 TeO 6 crystalline single phase.…”
