研究目的
To disclose, for the first time, the structural, electronic, and optical properties of Ca10V6O25 crystals through a combined experimental and theoretical study.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized monophasic Ca10V6O25 crystals using the MAH method at 120 °C within short reaction times. The crystals exhibited different morphologies and structural properties, with distorted [CaO6] and [VO4] clusters. The charge transfer process between these clusters was responsible for the photoluminescence emissions. The research provides a comprehensive understanding of the structural, electronic, and optical properties of Ca10V6O25 crystals, suggesting potential applications in electronic, biomedical, and semiconductor fields.
研究不足
The study is limited to the synthesis and characterization of Ca10V6O25 crystals under specific conditions (120 °C and varying synthesis times). The theoretical calculations have drawbacks in obtaining accurate band gap values due to the use of hybrid B3LYP functional.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MAH) method was employed to synthesize Ca10V6O25 crystals at 120 °C with different morphologies. First-principle quantum mechanical calculations at the density functional theory level were performed to study the geometry and electronic properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ca10V6O25 crystals were synthesized with different morphologies by varying the synthesis time (4, 8, 16, and 32 min).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
XRD (Model DMax/2500PC, Rigaku, Japan), Raman spectrometer (Model T64000, Horiba Jobin-Yvon, Japan), UV-vis spectrophotometer (Model Cary 5G, Varian, USA), FE-SEM (Supra 35-VP Carl Zeiss, Germany), PL measurements with a Monospec 27 monochromator coupled with a R955 photomultiplier, and current-voltage characterizations using a Keithley 6517B electrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved dissolving NH4VO3 and CaCl2·2H2O in distilled water, adjusting the pH, and transferring the solution to the MAH system. The precipitates were collected, washed, and dried. Characterization included XRD, Raman spectroscopy, UV-vis DRS, PL measurements, TEM, EDS, FE-SEM, and current-voltage measurements.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Rietveld refinements using the GSAS program, Raman modes assignment, UV-vis spectra analysis using the Kubelka-Munk function, and PL spectra deconvolution using the Voigt Area G/L function.
