Abstract. The nano-Bi20a powders were prepared by a chemical precipitation method with B i ( N O a ) 3 , HNOa and
NaOH as reactants. The structural characteristics and morphology of nano-Biz Oa powders were investigated by X-
ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The results show that under the optimum condi-
tion that 300 g / L Bi(NO3 )a reacts at 90 °C for 2 h, the Bi2Oa powders with 60 nm on the average and 9 9 . 5 ~ in puri-
ty are obtained. The prepared nano-Bi2 O3 powders contain a mixed crystal structure of monoclinic and triclinic in-
stead of traditional structure of monoclinic a-Bi2 O3. And the mixed crystal structure is stable in air. The reason for
the appearance of the mixed crystal structure may be that the ionic radius ratio of Bi3+ to O z- changes easily during
the formation of nano-Biz O3 particles by a chemical precipitation method.
Key words, nano-BizOa powders; chemical precipitation method; mixed crystal structure
