Novel nest-like (NH4)(2)V6O16 center dot 1.5H(2)O structures made of nanobelts have been synthesized by a facile hydrothermal approach. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample reveals the monoclinic crystalline phase of (NH4)(2)V6O16 center dot 1.5H(2)O. The scanning electron microscopy images of the sample obtained at 130 degrees C for 3 days exhibit nest-like morphology. The transmission electron microscopy result reveals that the nanobelts have a smooth surface. The selected area electron diffraction pattern of the nanobelts indicates single crystalline nature. The two major weight losses occur in thermogravimetric analysis which correspond to the removal of water and ammonia molecules. Further, calcination of the (NH4)(2)V6O16 center dot 1.5H(2)O product results in the formation of orthorhombic phase of shcherbianite V2O5. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
