Hydrothermal Conversion of Layered Niobate K4Nb6O17·3H2O to Rare Microporous Niobate K6Nb10.8O30.

Published in: Inorganic chemistry (2017)

We report a new facile route to synthesizing K6Nb10.8O30, a rare microporous niobate. When hydrothermally treated under alkali conditions, a layered niobate, K4Nb6O17·3H2O, was converted to K6Nb10.8O30. This product had a much smaller particle size than K6Nb10.8O30, prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction, and showed enhanced adsorption properties.
