The invention relates to D-phase
vanadium dioxide nano-star
powder and a preparation method thereof. The
powder is D-phase
vanadium dioxide nano-star
powder with a shape of pentagram or hexagram flat particles with the flat thickness of 30-60nm and the flat
diameter of 60-100nm. Conical star point base thickness of the pentagram or hexagram particle is same with the flat thickness, conical star point base width is 30-60nm, and star point length is 70-100nm. The preparation method comprises the following steps:
ammonium metavanadate is dissolved in deionized water, and the mixture is stirred, such that an
ammonium metavanadate water solution is obtained; a
formic acid solution is dropped into the
ammonium metavanadate water solution being stirred, such that a mixed liquid with a pH value of 1-3 is obtained; the mixed liquid is set in a sealed state, and is allowed to react for 1-3d under a temperature of 180-220 DEG C, such that a reaction liquid is obtained; and the reaction liquid is sequentially subjected to
solid-liquid separation, washing and
drying, such that a target product is obtained. With subsequent heat treatment, obtained VO2(M) nano-star powder can be widely applied in the fields of intelligent temperature-control films,
thermistor materials, photoelectric switch materials,
infrared detection materials, gas sensors, storage materials, and the like.
