Abstract:VO2 was prepared by carbothermal reduction method with V2O5 and acticarbon as raw materials. Effects of reaction time and acticarbon dosage on content of various vanadium oxide were studied. The purity, phase, morphology and phase-transition temperature of product analyzed by chemical titration, XRD, DSC and SEM. The results show that the purity and conversion rate of VO2 can respectively reach 99.6% and 93.9% when n(V2O?5):n(acticarbon) is 2:1 and the reaction time is 5h. The product is M prase VO2 which has small size and uniform distribution particles, well -crystallized.
