Abstract

Recently, there has been much interest in creating new layered transition metal oxides. Vanadium oxides may be used as sorbents, catalysts, and cathodes in lithium batteries. The modified sol-gel technique allows for some control towards the final structure of the compound. Using this technique, a new layered vanadium oxide phosphate material, containing the surfactant dodecylphosphate, has been synthesized. The compound was analyzed using powder XRD, TGA, SEM, FTIR, TEM, and solid state NMR for both 51V and 31P. V2O3(PO4C12H25)3Na2−xKx(H2O)3.2 is the general formula of the layered product with an interlayer spacing of 36.6 Å The initial compound is composed of a vanadium oxide phosphate layer sandwiched between two hydrocarbon layers. The synthesis, composition, and structure of the initial compound will be discussed. Interestingly, when this compound is calcined to 400°C, the structure changes and is possibly hexagonal. Preliminary results are presented on this calcined material.
