In the time can directly producing metal vanadium oxide particles with the laser high temperature pyrolytic cracking (HTP) as mentioned above, also found also can generate nano level metal barium oxide particle simultaneously with heat treatment method.Generate in the method for metal vanadium oxide particles in a kind of preferred heat, at first barium oxide nano particle and non-vanadium metal compound are in the same place, its mixture is heated in stove to form a metal vanadium oxide composition.Melts combine is advanced the heat treatment process of going in the barium oxide lattice can carry out at oxidation environment or in inert environments.In the ambiance of any form, heating steps all will cause the variation of oxygen to the vanadium ratio usually, and in addition, heat treatment can also make crystal lattice change and/or remove the compound that absorbs on the degranulation to improve the performance of particle.
Use quite gentle condition, promptly temperature must be lower than the fusing point of barium oxide particle, causes melts combine to be gone in the barium oxide particle and does not cause particle to sinter bigger particle in a large number into.The employed barium oxide particle of process preferably nanoscale barium oxide particle has been found that the metal vanadium oxide composition can be by being in+5 (pentavalents) or less than obtaining in the barium oxide in the state of oxidation of+5 (pentavalents).Especially be in+2 (two valencys) are (VO) to+5 (pentavalent) (V 2O 5) the state of oxidation in barium oxide can be used for making metal vanadium oxide particles.
Usually, the metal that is combined in the metal vanadium oxide particles is that any non-vanadium shifts metal.The metal that is combined into barium oxide comprises: as, copper, silver, gold and its composition, suitable silver compound comprises as silver nitrate (AgNO 3).The copper compound that is suitable for comprises as, copper nitrate [Cu (NO 3) 2].Perhaps, also available silver metal dust, copper metal powder end or golden metal dust are as the corresponding metal source.
The oxic gas that is suitable for comprises as, O 2(also can supply with) with air, O 3, CO, CO 2With its composition, reactant gas can be used Ar, He and N 2Deng inert gas dilution.Perhaps, gas also can only be used inert gas.The silver-vanadium oxide particle can be produced with inert atmosphere or with oxidizing atmosphere, describes as following Example.
Multiple device can be used to carry out the usefulness of the heat treatment of sample annealing.The example 400 of suitable devices can be referring to Fig. 6 of mistake described above, the heat treatment of the barium oxide that gets for use in being produced by the laser high temperature pyrolytic cracking (HTP).Another 430 in device that is used for metal group is incorporated into the barium oxide lattice is seen Fig. 7.Particle is placed on the vial 432 in the pipe 434.In the red or similar vessel.Required gas is then by pipe 434.Gas can offer sample by introducing in oxidation source gas 438 or the inertia source of the gas 436.
Pipe 434 is placed in the stove 440, and stove 440 can adopt the commodity stove as " Mini-Mite TM1000 ℃ of Tube Fumacl " produce by " Lindberg/Blue M, Asheville, NC ".Pipe 434 relevant portion is kept its normal temperature by stove 440, and temperature can be by in addition system's adjustment of treatment step certainly.Temperature monitoring adopts a thermocouple 442.
In order in heating steps, to produce metal vanadium oxide particles, the mixture of barium oxide particle and metallic compound can be placed in batch pipe 432 boats in the pipe 434.Preferably in stove, further earlier solution of metal compound and barium oxide nano particle are mixed the back evaporate to dryness before the heating.As long as be ready, evaporation can realize to form the metal vanadium oxide composition with heating simultaneously.For example, silver nitrate and copper nitrate can be added in the barium oxide particle as aqueous solution and go.Perhaps, barium oxide sodium rice particle can with metal oxide dry powder or metal element powder, so just can avoid evaporating this step.Add sufficient amount metallic compound or metal element powder so that the metal group of production requirement is incorporated in the barium oxide lattice.This mixing that enters barium oxide is for example to use, and the x-ray diffraction instrument is checked, and is as described below.
Can select accurate condition for use, comprise the kind of oxic gas (if the work that has), the concentration of oxic gas, the flow of gas and pressure, are produced the product material of required type at temperature and processing time etc.Temperature is not high usually, promptly is significantly less than the fusing point of material, and using softer condition is to sinter large-size particle into for fear of between particle, thereby can produce the bigger slightly particle of average particulate diameter with the sintering that higher slightly temperature is controlled particle.
For metal group is incorporated in the barium oxide, the scope of temperature normally from about 50 ℃ to about 500 ℃, is preferably from 80 ℃ to about 400 ℃, is more preferably from 80 ℃ to about 325 ℃.Temperature ranges can be from about 80 ℃ to about 250 ℃, and particle preferably is heated from about 5 minutes to about 100 hours.In order to produce the condition that is suitable for making required material, also may need the adjustment of some experiences.(3) character of particle
An average diameter that includes common its primary particles of particle of metal vanadium oxide compound is less than 500 microns, is preferably from about 5 microns to about 100 microns.Be more preferably from about 5 microns to about 50 microns, best is from about 5 microns to about 25 microns.Primary particles has rough spherical appearance usually substantially.Examine, crystalline particle generally always has and the corresponding face of its crystal lattice.Yet the primary particles crystallization all shows the trend of growth because of attempt on three directions in space, be spherical appearance substantially so just form.In preferred embodiment, 95% primary particles, even the long axis length that is preferably 99% particle is to be not more than 2 approximately to the ratio of minor axis length.The measurement of the diameter of asymmetry particle is the basis that is measured as with its main shaft average length.
Because the size of these particles is very little, so primary particles can trend towards occurring loose agglomeration because of near the electromagnetic force of particle and the effect of Van der Waal power.Yet the primary nanometer scale can clearly be observed in the transmission electron microscope figure to particle.Particle has the surperficial face with the corresponding nanometer scale of particle usually, can in microscope figure, observe, and, owing to the very big surface area of the very little size of particle and its Unit Weight demonstrates its very unique characteristic.For example, the barium oxide particle has the high-energy-density that makes us very surprised in lithium battery, and referring to U.S. Patent No. 5,952,125, exercise question is " battery with electric activated nano particle ".
The size of primary particles preferably has the very high uniformity.The laser high temperature pyrolytic cracking (HTP) can obtain the very narrow particle of its diameter distribution usually.And the heat treatment of carrying out under very soft condition can't change the very narrow characteristics of its diameter distribution, when transmitting with air float body, the distribution of particle diameter is very responsive to reaction condition, certainly, if the words that reaction condition is suitably controlled, in the air float body transfer system, can obtain the very narrow particle of diameter distribution, as mentioned above.According to the observed result of transmission electron microscope, the common distribution of sizes that has of primary particles is: at least about 95%, the diameter that is preferably 99% primary particles is greater than the about 40% of average diameter, and less than about 160% of average diameter.Be preferably, the diameter of primary distributes and is: at least about 95% and better be the diameter of 99% primary particles be greater than average diameter about 60% and less than about 140% of average diameter.
And, in a preferred embodiment, not about four times primary than average diameter, perhaps be more preferably three times, even twice, in other words, not occurring an expression on the size distribution plot of particle has the afterbody that has in a small amount obvious larger-diameter particle, and this is because reaction zone is very little and particle is subjected to the cause of hurried cooling.The afterbody of size distribution plot is excised effectively, this means 10 6Its diameter diameter bigger particle more bigger than a certain specific cut value more than the average diameter can be above one in the particle of quantity.
Very narrow distribution of sizes does not have afterbody and roughly is that spherical form can be developed a lot of applications in the distribution map.
In addition, nano particle generally has very high purity.Metal vanadium oxide particles with the crystallization of said method production is expected to have higher purity than reactant, because in the process that crystallization forms the trend that impurity is excluded is arranged from lattice.And has very high degree of crystallinity by the barium oxide particle of the crystallization of laser temperature adjustment pyrolysismethod production.Equally, the metal vanadium oxide nano particle with the crystallization of heat treatment method production also has very high degree of crystallinity.Be eliminated during at the impurity of particle surface, make particle not only obtain very high degree of crystallinity but also obtain very high purity in heating.
Barium oxide has a kind of complicated phasor, because vanadium has a variety of possible states of oxidation.The existing state of oxidation of known vanadium is to arrive between the pentavalent vanadium at two valency vanadium, and the energy difference under the different states of oxidation between the oxide of vanadium is little.Therefore, just might produce the compound of chemical mixing valency.The form known of barium oxide has VO, VO 1.27, V 2O 3, V 3O 5, V 2O, V 6O 13, V 4O 9, V 3O 7, and V 2O 5, adopt the laser high temperature pyrolytic cracking (HTP) separately or again in conjunction with adding the single-phase barium oxide that heating can very successful real estate goes out to have a lot of different states of oxidation, and proved by the x-ray diffraction sky.These monophase materialses are crystalline solid normally, and some noncrystal nano particle output is no doubt also arranged.Heat treatment method is to help increasing the state of oxidation of barium oxide particle or make the barium oxide particle be transformed into more orderly phase.
The mixed phase zone is also arranged in the barium oxide phasor.Particle can be shaped as the different states of oxidation in the mixed phase district, perhaps wherein can have simultaneously to have the not variable grain of gaseous state.In other words, other parts with other particles of a kind of stoicheiometry or particle of some part of some particle or particle then have another kind of different stoicheiometry.The mixed phase nano particle is made.The non-chemical proportion material also can be made.
The crystal that barium oxide forms usually is octahedra or impaired octahedral coordination.Particularly, VO, V 2O 3, VO 2, V 6O 13And V 3O 7Can form octahedral coordination.And, V 3O 7Also can form the coordination of bipyramid trigonal system.V 2O 5The formed side of being pyramid crystalline texture, V recently 2O 5Also can generate two dimension crystal structures, show " Solid State Ionics " 79:239-244 (1995) one books referring to people such as M.Hibino.Under the condition that is fit to, the barium oxide nano particle can also be noncrystal.The crystal lattice of barium oxide can be estimated with the x-ray diffraction method of measurement.
