The direct observation of structural development during vanadium pentoxide gelation

Abstract: The sequence of structural evolution in the gelation of vanadic acid to form vanadium pentoxide gels was studied using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Small whiskers form from initially homogeneous solutions, and then grow into crystalline ribbon-like colloidal particles. It is proposed that the whiskers form from polymerization of dioxovanadium cations. The ribbons then grow by continued addition of dioxovanadium cations which are supplied by the … Show more

“…Using the thicknesses measured, the approximate range of conductivity for the dried gel is 2.0 to 3.0 x 10-4 (ohm*cm)-I for all coatings measured. This is slightly above the conductivity observed for xerogels obtained from ion-exchanged sols, which has been reported to be 10- 5 (ohm*cm)-l [8].…”

“…The increase in viscosity occurs after the induction time previously observed [5,6]. This increase in viscosity at days 5 to 7 leads to a better overall coverage on the coated substrates and increased coating thickness as the ability of the reacting solution to wet the substrate improves.…”
