SKKU Inorganic Materials Lab. Conclusion I The resulting composites had lamellar structures and displayed mesophase transformation to hexagonal and cubic structures after hydrothermal treatment of vanadate-surfactant composite powders. However, they are thermally unstable. UV/ozone treatment provides an efficient means for the condensation of vanadate clusters, but not efficient for removing of organic surfactant. II It is speculated that the results are due to the poor condensation of vandates or the strong interaction between the inorganic framework and the organic template.
