The specific process for preparing tungsten oxide nanomaterials can vary depending on the method used. Here are the detailed processes for several common preparation methods:
- Chemical Synthesis Method
Taking the precipitation method as an example, the specific process is as follows:
Preparation of the Solution
- Dissolve ammonium tungstate (or another tungsten source) in distilled water to form a uniform ammonium tungstate solution.
Addition of Precipitating Agent
- Add an appropriate amount of ammonium hydroxide (or other precipitating agents) to the ammonium tungstate solution, stirring thoroughly. The purpose of this step is to allow tungsten ions to react with hydroxide ions to form tungsten oxide precipitate.
Reaction and Precipitation
- While stirring, heat the reaction mixture to a certain temperature (about 70°C) to promote the reaction. As the reaction proceeds, tungsten oxide precipitate will gradually form.
Precipitate Treatment
- Let the reaction mixture stand for a while to allow the precipitate to settle completely. Then, use filtration or centrifugation to separate the precipitate from the solution.
Washing and Drying
- Wash the separated precipitate multiple times with distilled water or deionized water to remove impurities adhering to the surface. After washing, place the precipitate in a drying oven and dry it at an appropriate temperature (such as room temperature or slightly higher) to obtain nano tungsten oxide powder.
- Hydrothermal Method
The specific process for preparing nano tungsten oxide using the hydrothermal method is as follows:
Solution Preparation
- Dissolve ammonium tungstate (or another tungsten source) in distilled water, and add an appropriate amount of ammonium carbonate (or another complexing agent) as a precipitating or stabilizing agent. Stir thoroughly to form the reaction solution.
High-Pressure Reaction
- Pour the reaction solution into a high-pressure reactor and seal the reactor. Heat the reactor under high temperature and pressure conditions (e.g., 180°C and 1.2 MPa) to allow tungsten ions to undergo hydrolysis and polymerization reactions, gradually forming nanoparticles.
Cooling and Separation
- After the reaction is complete, cool the high-pressure reactor to room temperature. Open the reactor and remove the reaction products. Use centrifugation or other methods to separate the nanoparticles from the solution.
Washing and Drying
- Wash the separated nanoparticles multiple times with distilled water or deionized water to remove any adhering impurities. After washing, place the nanoparticles in a drying oven for drying to obtain nano tungsten oxide powder.
- High-Energy Ball Milling Method
The specific process for preparing nano tungsten oxide using the high-energy ball milling method is as follows:
Raw Material Preparation
- Mix tungsten powder (or another tungsten source) with an appropriate amount of additives (such as ammonium carbonate) evenly. The addition of additives helps promote particle refinement and dispersion during the milling process.
Ball Milling Treatment
- Place the mixed raw materials in a high-energy ball mill for high-speed ball milling. During the milling process, the particles are gradually refined under the impact and shear forces of the milling media, resulting in nanoscale particles.
Screening and Drying
- Screen the milled mixture through a sieve to remove larger particles and impurities. The resulting nanoparticles are then washed and dried to obtain nano tungsten oxide powder.
The above outlines several common methods for preparing nano tungsten oxide and their specific processes. In practical applications, other suitable preparation methods can be selected based on specific needs and conditions, and the preparation process can be optimized and adjusted to achieve better results.
