Summary

The formation of V2O5 fibrous microcrystals in the V2O5-NH3-H2O system has been investigated by electron microscopy. The morphology of these microcrystals is dependent on the concentration of the particular components in the colloidal system and on the time of aging. In some colloid systems the orientation of V2O5 fibrous crystals with their long axes parallel to one another is also possible. The microcrystal growth in these systems can be attributed to very effective conditions for the recrystallization of vanadium pentoxide crystals in equilibrium with ammonium vanadate in solution.
