Formation and Ripening of Nanobelts/Nanofibers under Stirring of aqueous Solution – alternative models

Abstract

Problem of V₂O₅ nanobelts production under intensive stirring of V₂O₅ powder in salted water is revisited. Method was initially proposed in 2016 but models and understanding were lacking. Here an independent attempt of the controlled V₂O₅ nanobelts formation and growth under stirring with various rotation frequencies is reported, as well as some alternative mechanisms and respective mathematical models of the nanobelts growth and ripening kinetics.
