Scalable synthesis of Sb(III)Sb(V)O4 nanorods from Sb 2O5 powder via solvothermal processing

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Scalable Sb(III)Sb(V)O4 nanorods from Sb2O 5 powder were prepared using solvothermal route. XRD and HRTEM demonstrate that the nanorods are single-crystal orthorhombic-Sb 2O4 phase with several micrometers long and 200-300 nm diameter size. XPS result further shows that the antimony cations in the nanorods are composed of three valence and five valence antimony ions. The emission of the nanorods appears around 450 nm wavelength. The formation mechanism of the Sb(III)Sb(V)O4 nanorods was discussed in detail.
