On the synthesis of monovalent, divalent and trivalent element vanadates
Abstract
A chimie douce method has been used to prepare vanadates (V
5+
) of various elements, trivalent (Al, Cr, Fe, In, Y, Bi), divalent (Co, Ni), monovalent (Li, Tl), and a combination of nickel and lithium. By varying several parameters, especially the pH during the synthesis, several types of vanadates have been obtained ranging from orthovanadates (VO
4
3–
) to decavanadates (V
10
O
28
6–
). The pH conditions required to prepare the various vanadates fall nicely within the expectations of the previously reported cation charge-pH diagram.
