A simple method for the preparation of containing Sb nano- and microcrystallines via an ultrasound agitation.
Sb(2)O(3) nanobelts (NBs) and needle-like Sb(8)O(11)Cl(2)(H(2)O)(6) microcrystallines (MCs) were fabricated by a low-power ultrasound agitation with the assistance of surfactant in aqueous system at room temperature. The structure and morphology of as-synthesized sample were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution transmission electronmicroscopy (HRTEM). The results indicate that the perfect oriented-attachment of pre-prepared colloid nanoparticles of precursor is the possible growth mechanisms. The method introduced in the paper is simple, versatile, and promising to synthesis other one-dimensional (1D) materials.
