Metavanadates MV2O6−δ (M = Zn and Cu) are synthesized by using a deep eutectic solvent (DES), mixture of hydrogen bond donor acceptor, as reaction medium. Dissolution stable binary metal oxides in DES followed heat treatment yields phase-pure vanadates. According to situ powder X-ray diffraction, ternary phases (α-Zn2V2O7 β-Cu2–xV2O7, x ∼ 0.27) intermediates the pathway taken. Identifying polymorphic phase transformation temperature for CuV2O6 well narrow range between formation...
A precipitation method involving a deep eutectic solvent (DES)─a mixture of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor─is used to synthesize ternary metal oxide. Without toxic reagents, precipitates consisting Zn3(OH)2V2O7·nH2O Zn5(OH)6(CO3)2 are obtained by simply introducing deionized H2O the DES solution containing dissolved ZnO V2O5. Manipulation synthetic conditions demonstrates high tunability in size/morphology two-dimensional nanosheets precipitated during dynamic equilibrium process....
Kagome compounds have garnered attention in the past few years for their intriguing magnetic properties arising from spin frustration dictated by geometry of sublattice. In this paper, we highlight success unconventional hydride route fast and easy synthesis compound $\mathrm{K}{\mathrm{V}}_{6}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{6}$. High-temperature situ powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies proved to be useful hinting at existence $\mathrm{K}{\mathrm{V}}_{6}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{6}$, identifying its conditions,...
AgBiS2 and Cu3BiS3 were synthesized via a microwave-assisted solution route using deep eutectic solvent (DES). The DES of choice consists choline chloride thiourea, with thiourea acting as sulfur source. synthesis provides fast, environmentally friendly, low-temperature alternative to high-temperature (HT) synthesis.
