摘要

V2O3 and VN nanocrystals have been synthesized by the decomposition of the precursor NH4VO3 and following nitridation in an autoclave with metallic Na flux at 450-600 degrees C. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) recorded the evolution process of the reaction from precursor NH4VO3 to hexagonal V2O3 and then to NaCl-type VN. In addition, the products were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
