Abstract:

Mirco/nano peanut-shaped CaMoO4 with three different sizes were prepared via reverse-microemulsion method at room temperature. Based on the essential difference between thermodynamic properties of nano CaMoO4 and bulk CaMoO4, the equations for acquiring molar surface thermodynamic functions of nano CaMoO4 were derived via combining the basic theory of chemical thermodynamics with thermokinetic principle. According to the derived equations, molar surface thermodynamic functions such as molar surface enthalpy, molar surface Gibbs free energy and molar surface entropy of the synthesized peanut-like mirco/nano CaMoO4 were successfully gained by in situ microcalorimetry. The results demonstrated that the size has significant influence on surface thermodynamic properties. Along with the size reducing, the molar surface enthalpy, molar surface Gibbs free energy and molar surface entropy increased.

Key words: Micro/nano CaMoO4, Size effect, Microcalorimetry, Surface thermodynamics
