ABSTRACT

Facile method of synthesizing organic-inorganic solid foam in complex structure is presented. The synthesis method is based on the use of neutral surfactant (1-hexadecylamine, C₁₆H₃₃NH₂) as structure directing agent and inorganic salt (vanadium nitride, VN) as precursor. The foam containing C₁₆H₃₃NH₂ has been synthesized by evolution of oxygen gas produced spontaneously from hydrogen peroxide through a viscous VN gel. The foam from the precursor of 0.5 gVN nanopowder grows gradually, reaching about 0.3 liters 10 minutes after excess addition of H₂O₂ and stirring. The ultralight, crystalline material made via foam processing was observed by XRD, SEM, TEM, and FTIR.
