Preparation of Elongated Hexagonal Pyramids and Hexagonal Prisms of SrCO3 Using Hydrothermal Reactions

摘要

Strontium carbonate (SrCCh) is important inorganic material and is widely used as an additive in the glass of color television tubes to block X-rays and improve glass quality. SrCO3 is also used in ferrite magnets, pigments, iridescent materials, and as a catalyst. The development of specific microstruc-ture morphologies has attracted significant interest due to their novel properties and potential applications. Recently, a variety of SrCO3 micro- and nano-structures, such as, rods, wires, ribbons, flowers, hexagonal prisms, and spheres, have been synthesized. Furthermore, soft-templates are commonly used to fabricate SrCO3 crystals with specific morphologies.
