Abstract

Facile and direct synthesis of radiative VO2 (M) plate-like is reported. The snowflake material presents superstructures plate-like aggregate with an anisotropic orientation in shape governed by V2O5 and NaOH concentration giving high surface energy liable for chemical reactions with the medium. Pure crystalline VO2 (M) has been obtained with a complete hydrothermolysis of the precursor. The morphological, structural, elemental composition, crystallinity and vibrational bands of the powders were characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) and Fourier Transform-Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR) infrared spectroscopy.
