Abstract:Abstract-We have developed processes for the synthesis of the Rb 2 Zn(VO 3 ) 4 and Cs 2 Zn(VO 3 ) 4 tetrameta vanadates. Rb 2 Zn(VO 3 ) 4 has been prepared by solid state reaction (350°C) between presynthesized RbVO 3 and ZnV 2 O 6 powders, and Cs 2 Zn(VO 3 ) 4 has been prepared by the Pechini method (sol-gel process). Both metavanadates crystallize in monoclinic symmetry (sp. gr. P2 1 /m). Thermochemical characterization results demonstrate that the vanadates undergo complex transformations during heating to … Show more
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.
