The following methods were used for the study: X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet and visible light spectroscopy (UV–VIS–DRS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX), and laser beam diffraction spectrometry (LDS). Based on the results, it was determined that the compound Sm 5VO 10 is thermally stable in air atmospheres up to 1475 °C, crystallises in a monoclinic system, and its structure is made up of oxygen VO 4 and SmO 8 polyhedra. The estimated energy gap value for nanometric, mechanochemically obtained Sm 5VO 10 was about 3.20 eV, and for the microcrystalline, obtained with the high-temperature method, was about 2.75 eV. The established physicochemical characterisation of Sm 5VO 10 initially showed that the compound could find potential applications, e.g. as a photocatalyst for water purification or as a component of new optoelectronic materials.}, type={Article}, title={High-temperature and mechanochemical synthesis of Sm 5VO 10 and its unknown properties}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/129344/e44_int.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cpe.2023.147403}, keywords={high temperature and mechanochemical synthesis, Sm5VO10 compound, thermal stability, XRD, semiconductor}, }
