Synthesis of Sb(VO3)3 and study of ternary system xNH4VO3 + (1 − x)(NH4)2HPO4 + Sb2O3

SbVO4 nanoparticles synthesized via three facile one-pot methods: controllable morphologies and superhydrophobic coatings

“…Physicochemical properties of inorganic colloidal nanocrystals exhibit high size-and shape-dependences within a scale of 1-10 nm due to quantum confinement effects [1][2][3][4]. A typical example stays within the family of antimony vanadium oxides, including variations of Sb0.92V0.92O4 [5], Sb2V2O9 [6], SbVO4 [7 -10], Sb(VO3)3 [11] and Sb2VO5 [12]. Different from the rutiletype bulk counterpart, its nanocomposite structures strongly depend on their preparatory conditions.…”

“…In spite of existing or potential applications of the antimony vanadium oxides, the synthesis conditions of these oxides are very harsh. Most of them need to be carried out under high temperature [6,10,11,[21][22][23][24]. The only wetchemical synthesis through the hydrothermal method requires stringent conditions to reach high product purity [8].…”
