Hydrothermal synthesis of mesostructured vanadium oxide and application of UV-ozone treatment

Abstract

Effect on hydrothermal treatment of lamellar vanadium oxides was investigated and the formation of hexagonal and cubic mesophase was found. This lamellar materials were prepared by mixing of cetyltrimethylammonium-bromide and pH-controlled sodium metavanadate solution. Thermal method and UV/O 3 treatment were applied to extract organic template. The structure of resulting product was studied by powder x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
