Studies on syntheses and formation of borophosphates under room temperature and ambient pressure

Abstract

NaCd (H2O)(2)[BP2O8]center dot 0.8H(2)O and NaZn (H2O)(2) [BP(2)O(8)center dot H2O have been synthesized under room temperature and ambient pressure. The two borophosphates were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. Their morphology were observed by SEM. The formation procedure of NaZn(H2O)(2)[BP2O8]center dot H2O was studied by in situ powder X-ray diffraction.
