Fabrication of Spherical Bi Particles during Polyol Synthesis Using a Bismuth(III) Carbonate Precursor
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: Spherical Bi particles were fabricated through a polyol synthesis using a zinc bismuth(III) carbonate precursor, and the effects of processing temperature and time on the morphology and composition of the resulting particles were evaluated. It was determined that longer processing times or higher processing temperatures resulted in the gradual conversion of as-formed bismuth hydroxide into spherical elemental bismuth via bismuth glycolate. The temperature for the effective synthesis of spherical Bi particles under these conditions was 230 °C
