Abstract:

Different morphologies of Ag3PO4 microcrystals, such as dodecahedrons, cubes, and tetrapods, were synthesized by ion-exchange method at room temperature. Based on the essential difference between thermodynamic properties of nano and bulk Ag3PO4, the equations for acquiring molar surface thermodynamic functions of nano Ag3PO4 were derived via combining the basic theory of chemical thermodynamics with thermokinetic principle. According to the derived equations, molar surface thermodynamic properties such as molar surface Gibbs free energy, molar surface enthalpy and molar surface entropy of the prepared Ag3PO4 microcrystals were gained by in-situ microcalorimetry. Moreover, the temperature and morphology effect on these obtained surface thermodynamic functions were discussed. The results revealed that the surface thermodynamic functions of tetrapod Ag3PO4 were maximum, followed by cube and dodecahedron Ag3PO4. Along with the increase of the temperature, molar surface enthalpy and molar surface entropy increased, whereas molar surface Gibbs free energy decreased.
