Abstract

A counterflow diffusion flame burner was used to produce nanophase vanadium-phosphorus oxide powders in a hydrogen-oxygen flame. Liquid precursors, i.e., VOCl3 and PCl3, were used as source materials in a 1:1 ratio. In situ formation processes were investigated at two temperatures by laser light scattering, by emission and absorption spectroscopy, and by collecting particles directly onto carbon-coated TEM grids. At the higher temperature, the collected powders are spherical particles about 30 to 50 nm in diameter. At the lower temperature, the powders collected are chain-like structures composed of particles 5 to 10 nm in diameter. Particles formed in the burner were collected also from the burner's flanges and from two auxiliary strips. Their crystalline phases and surface area were determined by x-ray diffractometry, FT-IR spectroscopy, and BET analysis by nitrogen desorption. These results indicate a strong influence of temperature on the crystalline phases of the powders. At the higher temperature, the powder collected is a mixture of VOPO4 · 2H2O and δ-VOPO4. This mixture forms Λ-VOPO4 upon subsequent reheating at 750 °C. At the lower temperature, the powders collected are a VOHxPO4 · yH2O phase and VO(H2PO4)2, and form β-VOPO4 and V(PO3)3, respectively, upon subsequent reheating at 750 °C.

39Note that x-ray and FT-IR analyses of the powders collected in both Flames show the presence of hydrated phases. Because of the high temperatures, it is likely that the powders which actually formed in the flame are not hydrated, and that these highly hygroscopic powders hydrated on the collection strips or in later handling.Google Scholar
