Herein is a new procedure to synthesize lanthanum oxide (La2O3) nanoparticles, which is eco-friendly and simple. The La2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel method using modification in time of stirring, type of PEG, and temperature of the reaction. Scherer's formula was used to estimate the average crystallite of La2O3 nanoparticle size from X-ray diffraction peaks of powder. The measured average particle size of La2O3 nanoparticles using the major signals of the X-ray diffraction spectrum after calcination was 37 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy technique was done to analyze the chemical structure of synthesized materials. The surface morphology of obtained nanoparticles was also studied by SEM and AFM techniques. Thermal gravimetric analysis was investigated by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to confirm the thermal stability of synthesized nanoparticles.

Abstract Y3+ substituted strontium hexaferrites having chemical composition SrYxFe12-xO19 (x= 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5) were successfully synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The structural and morphological studies of prepared samples were investigated by using X-ray diffraction technique, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the single-phase hexagonal structure of yttrium substituted strontium ferrite and the lattice parameters a and c increased with the substitution of Y3+ ions. The crystallite size also varied with x content from 60 to 80 nm. The morphology was studied by FE-SEM, and the grain size of nanoparticles ranged from 44 to 130 nm. The magnetic properties were investigated by using vibrating sample magnetometer. The value of saturation magnetization decreased from 49.60 to 35.40 emu/g. The dielectric constant decreased non-linearly whereas the electrical dc resistivity increased with the yttrium concentration in strontium hexaferrite.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

The scope of the present work is in enhancing the particle size, and dielectric properties of Mg-substituted Cobalt ferrites nanoparticles prepared by sol–gel auto combustion method. The different ratios of Mg-substituted Co Ferrites (Co[Formula: see text]MgxFe2O4([Formula: see text], 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.30)) are calcinated at 850[Formula: see text]C. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by powder XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, EDX techniques and dielectric behavior. The structural parameters were confirmed from powder XRD and the average particle size is obtained from 39 to 67 nm due to the substitution of Mg[Formula: see text] which was calculated by Debye Scherrer’s formula. FE-SEM showed the surface morphology of the different ratio of the sample. The dielectric loss has measured the frequency range of 50[Formula: see text]Hz–5[Formula: see text]MHz. From electrical modulus, conductivity relaxation and thermal activation of charge carriers has been discussed.

TiO2-(Ti[Formula: see text]Si[Formula: see text]O2 nanopowders (TS-NPs) with average particle size around 90 nm were successfully synthesized by controlled auto-combustion method by using citric acid/nitric acid (AC:NA) and urea/metal cation (U:MC). The structure of powders was studied based on their X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The XRD of TS-NPs shows that rutile and anatase are the main phases of TS-NPs for AC:NA and U:MC, respectively. Particle size and histogram of nanopowders were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Optical properties of TS-NPs were calculated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Kramers–Kroning (KK) relation. Plasma frequencies of TS-NPs obtained from energy loss functions depend on fuels as a result of changes in crystal structure, particle size distribution, and morphology.

Spinel chromite nanoparticles are prospective candidates for a variety of applications from catalysis to depollution. In this work, we used a sol–gel auto-combustion method to synthesize spinel-type MgCr2O4 nanoparticles by using fructose (FS), tartaric acid (TA), and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as chelating/fuel agents. The optimal temperature treatment for the formation of impurity-free MgCr2O4 nanostructures was found to range from 500 to 750 °C. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the lattice vibrations of the corresponding chemical bonds from octahedral and tetrahedral positions, and the optical band gap was calculated from UV–VIS spectrophotometry. The stabilization of the spinel phase was proved by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. From field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), we found that the size of the constituent particles ranged from 10 to 40 nm. The catalytic activity of the as-prepared MgCr2O4 nanocrystals synthesized by using tartaric acid as a chelating/fuel agent was tested on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. In particular, we found that the nature of the chelating/fuel agent as well as the energy released during the auto-combustion played an important role on the structural, optical, and catalytic properties of MgCr2O4 nanoparticles obtained by this synthetic route.

Spinel ferrite with the chemical formula of Mn0.5Zn0.5LaxFe2-xO4(x= 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10) were prepared by a sol-gel auto-combustion method. The effect of the rare-earth substitution on the microstructural properties of the synthesized powders were investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), while for the magnetic properties, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements were made. XRD patterns revealed characteristic peaks corresponding to spinel Mn-Zn ferrite structures with accompanying secondary phases, such as Fe2O3and LaFeO3. The initial addition of La3+into the spinel ferrite system resulted in an initial spike of the lattice parameter and crystallite size before proceeding to decrease as the rare-earth content continues to decrease. FESEM micrographs reveals agglomerated particles with considerable grain size distribution. The magnetic properties, especially the saturation magnetization,Ms, was found to decrease with each increase in La3+substitution. The research findings revealed the critical influence of the La3+substitution towards the overall structural and magnetic properties of the Mn-Zn ferrite samples.

Nanostructure of Y-type hexaferrite with composition of Sr 2 Ni 2 Al x/2 Cr x/2 Fe 12-x O 22 (where x are 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4 and 3) were prepared by sol–gel auto-combustion method. The influence of Al and Cr doping on the structural and magnetic properties has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirm phase formation of Y-type hexaferrite. The microstructure and morphology of prepared samples were studied by high resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) which shows the hexagonal shape for all of the samples. Magnetic properties were characterized using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The magnetic results revealed that by increasing the Al and Cr to the structure, the coercivity was also increased from 840 Oe to 1160 Oe. Moreover it has been shown that with addition of dopants, saturation magnetization (Ms) and remnant magnetization (Mr) were decreased from 39.61 emu/g to 30.11 emu/g and from 17.51 emu/g to 14.62 emu/g, respectively, due to the entrance of nonmagnetic ions into Fe 3+ sites.

Abstract Spinel ferrite nanoparticles can be easily retrieved and utilized for multiple cycles due to their magnetic properties. In this work, nanoparticles of a ZnxCu1-xFe2O4 composition were synthesized by employing a sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The morphology, composition, and crystal structure were examined using scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The produced nanoparticles are in the range of 30–70 nm and manifest spinel cubic structure. The nanoparticles were tested for their sensitivity to H2 and H2S gases, and the Cu-based spinel ferrite nanoparticles were found the most sensitive and selective to H2S gas. Their enhanced response to H2S gas was attributed to the production of metallic CuFeS2 that manifest higher electrical conductivity as compared with CuFe2O4. The fabricated sensors are functional at low temperatures, and consequently, they need low operational power. They are also simple to fabricate with appropriate cost.
