- Definition and Structure of Tantalum-Doped Hexagonal Phase Tungsten Oxide Nanomaterials
Definition Tantalum-doped hexagonal phase tungsten oxide nanomaterials refer to nanomaterials formed by incorporating a certain amount of tantalum into the crystal structure of hexagonal phase tungsten oxide (WO3) through doping techniques, resulting in materials with special properties.
Structure Hexagonal phase tungsten oxide itself is composed of [WO6] octahedral units connected through shared corners to form a planar stacking structure, with no relative displacement between layers, resulting in hexagonal channels along the c-axis. After doping with tantalum, tantalum ions may replace some tungsten ions or exist in the octahedral gaps, thereby altering the crystal structure and electronic structure of the material.
- Preparation Methods for Tantalum-Doped Hexagonal Phase Tungsten Oxide Nanomaterials
There are various methods to prepare tantalum-doped hexagonal phase tungsten oxide nanomaterials, with common methods including hydrothermal synthesis, sol-gel method, and co-precipitation method. These methods typically involve mixing tantalum sources (such as TaCl5, Ta2O5) with tungsten sources (such as Na2WO4, WO3) under specific conditions, controlling reaction parameters such as temperature, time, and pH to obtain nanomaterials with the desired crystal structure and doping levels.
