Characterization of phases in the V2O5–Yb2O3 system obtained by high-energy ball milling and high-temperature treatment

“…6b) [16]. According to the above results of the high-temperature reaction study, besides the known compounds forming in the binary system V 2 O 5 -Yb 2 O 3 [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] (Fig. 6b).…”

“…In contrast to the scarce data on ytterbium divanadate(V), the synthesis and physicochemical properties of ytterbium orthovanadate(V) have been thoroughly described [7][8][9][10][11][12]. YbVO 4 has been obtained by different methods: solid-state, hydrothermal and co-precipitation [7][8][9][10][11][12] and mechanochemical method [21]. Detailed crystal structure of this compound as well as its optical, electric, magnetic, thermal and chemical properties is known [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, there is no information on the solid solutions forming in the binary system of V 2 O 5 and Yb 2 O 3 oxides showing the structures of vanadium(V) oxide and/or ytterbium oxide. In contrast to the scarce data on ytterbium divanadate(V), the synthesis and physicochemical properties of ytterbium orthovanadate(V) have been thoroughly described [7][8][9][10][11][12]. YbVO 4 has been obtained by different methods: solid-state, hydrothermal and co-precipitation [7][8][9][10][11][12] and mechanochemical method [21].…”

“…The high-energy ball milling has been successfully used for syntheses of many new functional materials such as alloys, intermetallic compounds, polymer or inorganic composites, ceramic materials [1][2][3][4][5][6]. According to the hitherto-published literature on the binary oxides of our concern, V 2 O 5 -Yb 2 O 3 , the formation of two compounds YbVO 4 and Yb 8 V 2 O 17 in this oxide system has been documented [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. They have been obtained as a result of high-temperature treatment of the oxides mixture containing V 2 O 5 and Yb 2 O 3 of the contents chosen to match the stoichiometry of these compounds [11,[13][14][15][16].…”

“…YbVO 4 has been obtained by different methods: solid-state, hydrothermal and co-precipitation [7][8][9][10][11][12] and mechanochemical method [21]. Detailed crystal structure of this compound as well as its optical, electric, magnetic, thermal and chemical properties is known [7][8][9][10][11][12]. It has been proved that as a result of YbVO 4 doping with such lanthanide ions as Nd 3? and Er 3?…”
