AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, when this method is used to prepare niobium, tungsten, and tantalum tricobalt tetroxide doped with high-valence and large atomic weight elements, there is the problem that niobium, tungsten, and tantalum chloride are easily hydrolyzed as wet dopants, resulting in the formation of niobium, tungsten, and tantalum elements. The precipitation is not uniform, which leads to the problem of uneven distribution of doping elements in cobalt tetroxide

In addition, the cobalt compound is very easy to oxidize, and the oxidized cobalt compound will hinder the rapid growth of the synthetic product. Therefore, this method also has the problem of low production efficiency.
