C. Lampeonnerud et Jo. Thomas, MECHANISMS FOR THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF NH4VO3 INTO V6O13, V3O7 AND V2O5, Journal of materials chemistry, 5(7), 1995, pp. 1075-1080
The thermal decomposition of ammonium metavanadate, NH4VO3, has been s
tudied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mass spectrometry (
MS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) in the temperature range 50-500 degree
s C. Different experimental conditions (heating rate and atmosphere) h
ave been explored in various combinations. Different types of reaction
mechanisms leading to crystalline V6O13 and V3O7 can be identified. T
he formation of V2O5 is also discussed briefly.
