以仲钼酸铵和硝酸为原料通过水热法在170℃下恒温40h获得直径为50-100nm、长度大于20μm的MoO3纳米纤维。在450~650℃的不同温度下对所合成的MoO3纳米纤维进行氢气还原,利用XRD和FSEM对还原样品进行表征。结果发现,MoO3纳米纤维在450℃的还原温度下有MoO2形成,在600℃的温度下被完全还原成粒度为0.1~2μm的Mo粉。在还原过程中,大部分MoO3纳米纤维形状不具有继承性,而处于自由空间的小部分单根MoO3纳米纤维可以转化成针状Mo颗粒。
MoO3 nanofibers with 50-100 nm diameter and larger than 20 μm length were prepared at 170 ℃constant temperature for 40 h using (NH4)6Mo7O24-4H2O and nitric acid as starting materials through hydrothermal process. Then the hydrogen reduction tests of the prepared MoO3 nanofiber were carried out at different temperatures within 450-650 ℃. The samples prepared by hydrogen reduction tests were characterized by XRD and FSEM. The results indicated that MoO3 nanofibers began to change into MoO2 at 450 ℃, and could be completely reduced to Mo powder with 0.1-2 μm particle size at 600℃. During the reduction process, the original fiber-like morphology of most MoO3 nanofibers was not well-retained; but in some cases, the fiber-like morphology of a small part of single MoO3 nanofibers in free space could be retained, and changed into needle-like Mo particles.
