[en] The oxygen-stabilized η-phase Zr₃V₃O was prepared by arc-melting the appropriate quantities of Zr metal, V metal, and V₂O₅ powder in an argon atmosphere. The crystal structure of intermetallic Zr₃V₃O was simulated by Material Studio and the phase structural characteristics of the alloy and its hydride were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. Experimental results show the cast and the hydride contain some amount of other phases as well as η-phase
