Synthesis of Li₂SiO₃ using novel water-assisted solid state reaction method

抄録

Single phase of orthorhombic Li₂SiO₃ was synthesized via a novel soft-chemical synthesis method, water assisted solid state reaction method at 343–353 K for 60 min. The crystal structure of the samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation revealed that the estimated size of the particles is 50–200 nm. The XRD patterns and SEM images were compared to those of samples by a conventional solid state method at 1173 K for 4 h.
