(a) Schematic diagrams of the continuous hydrothermal flow synthesis reactor system. FeSO4 = Iron sulphate, VOSO4 = vanadium oxide sulphate hydrate and H3PO4 = phosphoric acid; P = pump; LiOH = Lithium hydroxide. (b) Outlines the mixing head, the central component of the apparatus where the reagents are combined.
