Abstract

Abstract:

Transition metal oxides with nanoscale or special micro-structures are favoured both in scientific research and industry application. Although many methods are developed, there is still a need and a potential payoff for developing a novel and convenient synthetic method. Inspired by nature hydrothermal vent, herein, we develop an ingenious “top-down” method to prepare various transition material compounds, which have diverse and fascinating structures. Our design thought is to etch the A ions by acid from the precursor A_xM_yO_z (A=alkaline and alkaline earth metal, M=transition metal) and leave the MO_n_/2 or HMO₍_n_+1)/2 behind under the hydrothermal condition. As a result, we obtain various structures like amorphous mesoporous bulk Nb₂O₅, morphology-re- tained bulk HNbO₃ and ZrO₂, monodispersed ZrO₂ nanoparticles, assembled porous ZrO₂ nanostructure, hollow TiO₂, and the derived core-shell structure. These materials have great potential application in catalysis and energy storage. We employed hollow TiO₂ cube as the high cut-off anode of lithium-ion batteries and harvested excellent performance. After these fruitful attempts, we have found that etching A_xM_yO_z to obtain transition metal compound is a complex reaction containing some different competing reactions, thus allowing us to regulate and control the microstructure of the products by adjusting the reaction condition. We believe there are more interesting structures waiting to be fabricated by similar “top-down” method and these unique materials have great potential in many fields.

Key words: etching, top-down method, porous materials, hollow structure, lithium-ion batteries
