Abstract
A simple and novel route for the synthesis of a lithium zinc phosphate hydrate, α-LiZnPO 4·H 2O, was studied, and the target product was obtained with LiH 2PO 4·H 2O and ZnCO 3 as raw materials and polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400) as a surfactant via a one step solid-state reaction at room temperature (25 °C). The product was characterized with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis and the 1st derivativative of thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The comparison experimental results suggested that aging temperature controlled the products of the synthesis, that is, the α-LiZnPO 4·H 2O was formed when the reaction mixture was aged at room temperature, and the α-LiZnPO 4 was obtained when the reaction mixture was aged at 80 °C.
