Procedimiento
Para efectuar este proceso de síntesis se debe usar un surfactante copolímero
denominado P123 este es un surfactante a base de óxido de etileno (PEO) y oxido de
propileno (PPO) siendo este último hidrofóbico por lo cual se encuentra mezclado en sus
estructuras por dos moléculas de PEO formando un copolímero triblock cuya masa molar
es de 5800g/mol.
La síntesis usa como precursor meta vanadato de amonio NH4VO3, agua destilada, acido
nítrico HNO3, para formar la solución que se someterá al proceso de formación de los
nanotubos bajo el siguiente proceso:
1. Se coloca en un vaso de precipitado 0.29245 gr de NH4VO3 equivalente a 2.5 mmol
y 0.50 gr de P123, se agregan 30 ml de agua destilada y 2 ml de HNO3.
2. Esta mezcla se agita durante 7 horas a temperatura ambiente y posteriormente
se adicionan 0.425675 gr de AgNO3 equivalente a 2.5 mmol y se continua con la
agitación durante 1 hora.
3. Esta mezcla se coloca dentro del autoclave durante 24 horas a 150 °C.
4. Pasado este tiempo el material se dejará enfriar a temperatura ambiente
5. Una vez enfriado se centrifuga y se realizará un lavado con agua destilada y
acetona
6. Al finalizar el proceso de lavado se debe secar el material a 70 °C durante 12
horas para retirar los residuos de agua y acetona
El material obtenido se caracterizará por DRX, UV-Vis, Fe-SEM, HRTEM, XPS para
conocer y confirmar que se tenga estructura de nanotubos.
Silver vanadate (AgVO3) nanowires were fabricated hydrothermally, with use of the
surfactant PEO-PPO-PEO (P123). All chemical reagents were of analytical grade and were
used as received without further purification. In a typical process, 2.5 mmol ammonium
metavanadate (NH4VO3, 99 %) precursor and 0.50 g P123 were first dissolved in distilled
water (30 mL) and 1 M HNO3 (2 mL) was added.
The resulting solution was stirred for 7 h at room temperature, followed by addition of 2.5
mmoL silver nitrate (AgNO3 99.8 %). After constant stirring for 1 h, the mixture was poured
into a Teflon-lined autoclave and heated at 150 °C for 24 h. After cooling to room
temperature, the as-obtained precipitate was washed thoroughly with distilled water and
acetone, several times, and finally dried in an oven at 70 °C for 12 h.

The Ag0.35V2O5 nanobelts were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Briefly, a

mixture of 1.5 mmol vanadium pentoxide powder and 0.6 mmol sodium dodecyl
sulfate (SDS; A. R. Grade) was dissolved in 15 ml pure water. Afterwards, various
molar ratios of Ag to vanadium were added in the mixture in order to investigate the
effect of the ratio on the formation of the nanobelts. To investigate the effect of
additives, SDS was replaced with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB; A.R.
Grade) and/or poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP; MW = 55,000). The mixture was then
placed into a Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave. After heating at 180 °C for 24 h,
greenish gray precipitates were formed. Finally, the reaction system cooled down to
room temperature, and the precipitates were centrifuged, collected, and rinsed by
pure water and ethanol several times, and then dried at room temperature for further
characterization.
