Continuous-Flow Synthesis of Thermochromic M-Phase VO2 Particles via Rapid One-Step Hydrothermal Reaction: Effect of Mixers

Table 1

VO2 nanoparticle samples prepared via Center T-Mixer and Collision Cross-Mixer mixing systems under various flow rates. (10, 5) represents flow rates of hot water and reactant solution of 10 mL/min and 5 mL/min. All the samples are prepared under reaction temperature of 345°C and a V+4 concentration of 0.0712 mol/L.
