Investigation of the Heterovalent Substitution Cadmium for Lanthanum in Molybdate La2MoO6

This paper presents the investigation of the heterovalent substitution of cadmium for lanthanum in the La2-xCdxMoO6-x/2 system. The samples were synthesized by the solid state reaction method at 1000°C. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction with Rietveld refinements, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy methods. The study results revealed that cadmium incorporation in the lanthanum molybdate leads to the transformation of the tetragonal structure of La2MoO6 to a cubic fluorite-like one. The content of the cubic phase reaches 94% in the Lа1.4Cd0.6MoO5.7 sample. The unit cell parameter of fluorite-like-phase decreases with cadmium content rising. The preferred location of cadmium ions in the cubic structure was established by the Rietveld refinement method. The heterovalent substitution cadmium for lanthanide in tetragonal La2MoO6 molybdate leads to the cubic fluorite phase stabilization in a similar way as it occurs in the process of reduction.

Hierarchical construction and characterization of lanthanum molybdate nanospheres as an unassailable electrode material for electrocatalytic sensing of the antibiotic drug nitrofurantoin

In this work, lanthanum molybdate nanospheres (LMNSs) were prepared by employing a co-precipitation methodology, and their electrochemical activity against nitrofurantoin (NF) was reported.

HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS OF RED PHOSPHOR La2(MoO4)3 DOPED WITH Eu3+ AND ITS APPLICATION FOR FERRIC IONS ASSAY

A low-temperature hydrothermal method was developed to synthesize red phosphor lanthanum molybdate doped with [Formula: see text] ions. SEM, XRD, FTIR, Raman, UV–Vis DRS and photoluminescence patterns were employed to characterize information of the sample’s morphologies, phase structure and properties. The calcination temperature was determined by TG-DTA results. Thorough energy transfer happened between [Formula: see text] ions and phosphors in water solution. So, the prepared materials provide an excellent sensing platform for ferric ions, which have potential applications in biotechnology and environmental protection.

Single Step Solid-State Synthesis of Lanthanum Molybdate

In this study, LaxMoyOz powders were synthesized by a cost-effective solid-state synthesis method. Four different heating cycles were designed to investigate the effects of synthesis temperature and holding time on lanthanum molybdate (LMO) formation, phase assemblies, particle size and morphology. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were performed to observe crystal structure and particle morphology of synthesized powders. The results showed that nearly ninety percent β - La2Mo2O9 (43,3 nm crystal size) phase was obtained at 1000 °C for 6 h holding time. Longer holding times at 1000 °C favor more oxygen-rich compounds which cause recrystallization of various new crystalline phases. The grain size of the synthesized powder was increased from 0,2 µm to 1,5 µm with increasing holding time. In summary, it is possible to manufacture LMO powders rich in β - La2Mo2O9 by one - step solid - state synthesis method. The phase assembles and particle size of LMO powders could also be tailored by optimization of heat treatment cycle.
