Abstract
Vanadate compounds, such as V3O7·H2O, are of high interest due to their versatile applications as electrode material for metal-ion batteries. In particular, V3O7·H2O can insert different ions such as Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Zn2+. In that case, well resolved crystal structure data, such as crystal unit-cell parameters and atom positions, are needed in order to determine the structural information of the inserted ions in the V3O7·H2O structure. In this work, fundamental crystallographic parameters, i.e. atomic displacement parameters, are determined for the atoms in the V3O7·H2O structure. Furthermore, vanadium ions were substituted by molybdenum in the V3O7·H2O structure [(V2.85Mo0.15)O7·H2O] and the crystallographic positions of the molybdenum ions and their oxidation state are elucidated. open access.Entities:

Figure 1Crystal structure of V3O7·H2O based on data from Oka et al. (1990 ▸) viewed along the c axis, space group Pnam: (a) in ball-and-stick form and (b) polyhedron style. The colours turquoise (V1), orange (V2) and green (V3) represent the three different vanadium positions in the structure. Red spheres represent oxygen atoms. The grey spheres represent the oxygen of the water molecule in the structure.
Figure 2Neutron diffraction (ND) pattern of Rietveld refined V3O7·H2O. The black dots represent the experimentally obtained ND pattern. The red line with dots represents the calculated pattern. The blue line shows the difference between the experimental and calculated patterns. The green vertical lines represent the Bragg peak positions.
Figure 3Crystal structure of V3O7·H2O with view along the c axis, space group Pnam, in ball and sticks form without (a) and with hydrogen position (b); data sets for (a) are from Oka et al. (1990 ▸); data sets for (b) are from the refined structure. The colours turquoise (V1), orange (V2) and green (V3) represent the three different vanadium positions in the structure. Red spheres represent oxygen atoms, while the grey sphere represents the oxygen atom of the crystal water molecule without hydrogen bonds. The pinkish spheres represent the hydrogen atoms of the water molecule in the structure.
