Abstract
- Thorn-like polycrystalline CaBO·HO microspheres with nano-sized slices were synthesized using boric acid and calcium hydroxide as reactants by a facile catalyst-free hydrothermal method at low temperature. The products were characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern reveals that the CaBO·HO is a monoclinic phase polycrystalline with cell parameters a = 0·6702, b = 0·5419 and c = 0·3558 nm. SEM also reveals that the monoclinic phase polycrystalline are thorn-like microspheres composed of many flakes with an average thickness of <100 nm. Possible reaction and growth mechanism were also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
