Background
Spray pyrolysis is a common method for preparing spherical nano powder, belongs to one of high-temperature pyrolysis, and has the biggest advantages that spherical powder particles can be prepared, and the preparation of the nano powder can be continuously carried out. The principle of spray pyrolysis is that liquid is changed into small liquid drops in an ultrasonic atomization mode, the small liquid drops pass through a high-temperature area under the drive of airflow, drying is carried out instantly, and thermal decomposition is carried out, so that a target product is obtained. The size of the liquid drop of the ultrasonic atomization is generally in the submicron range, and it can be considered that the larger the molecular weight of the vanadium-containing substance in the liquid drop is, the more likely the liquid drop is to become powder with smaller particle size when decomposed after being dried under the condition of a certain liquid drop size.
At present, vanadium sources used for preparing vanadium dioxide by a spray thermal decomposition method mainly comprise tetravalent vanadium, mainly comprise vanadyl sulfate, vanadyl oxalate, vanadyl dichloride and the like, the vanadium source molecules are not large, and most prepared powder is more than 100 nm.
The patent with publication number CN 105819508A discloses a method for preparing VO by spray pyrolysis2The method for preparing (M) nano powder and film is characterized by adding ammonium metavanadate into glycol solvent, heating and stirring to finally form uniform and transparent precursor solution with concentration of 0.02-1 mol/L, atomizing the precursor into small droplets by using an atomizer, spraying the small droplets onto a heated substrate by using carrier gas, decomposing the precursor on the substrate, depositing for a period of time, and collecting the product to obtain VO2(M) a powder or a film.
The method comprises the steps of heating and stirring ammonium metavanadate and glycol solution to obtain ethylene glycol vanadyl, reducing pentavalent vanadium into tetravalent vanadyl ions by using ammonia gas decomposed by the ammonium metavanadate, and combining the tetravalent vanadyl ions with glycol to form organic alkoxide of the tetravalent vanadium. In practice, this reaction is very slow and the final concentration formed is often only 0.02mol/L, so that the overall process yield is very low.

The invention relates to a method for preparing spherical VO by ultrasonic atomization2The method for preparing the nano powder comprises the following steps:
s1, dissolving vanadium pentoxide in water to obtain a vanadium-containing solution with the vanadium element concentration of 0.05-0.20 mol/L.
The solubility of vanadium pentoxide in water at normal temperature is extremely low, so that heating and stirring are required, and the dissolution of vanadium pentoxide is accelerated by adding a cosolvent. The proportion of vanadium pentoxide to water is required to be certain. For example, adding vanadium pentoxide into deionized water according to the proportion of 4.55-18.20 g:1.00L, and stirring for 4-8 h at the water bath temperature of 80-100 ℃. The cosolvent is used for promoting the dissolution of vanadium pentoxide, and the cosolvent is added until the vanadium pentoxide is completely dissolved. And (4) considering the loss of water by heating and stirring, and finally, re-metering the volume to obtain the vanadium-containing solution with the target concentration. The co-solvent is chosen so as to avoid the introduction of impurities, for example aqueous ammonia. The cosolvent adopts ammonia water, and has the advantages that firstly, the pH value of the solution is adjusted to be in a slightly alkaline range, and the solubility of vanadium pentoxide is far higher than that of acid and neutral under an alkaline condition. And secondly, the vanadium ions and the ammonium ions have strong binding capacity, and are also beneficial to dissolving vanadium pentoxide according to the precipitation dissolution balance principle. Thirdly, ammonia water is used as a cosolvent, so that impurities cannot be brought in the subsequent thermal reduction decomposition process, if NaOH is used, sodium vanadate can be produced in the subsequent process, and ammonium vanadate can be easily decomposed.
