The present study, La0.7Sr0.3MO3 (M = Mn-, Co-, and Fe-) perovskite, has successfully been synthesized via two techniques; co-precipitation, and sol-gel auto-combustion. XRD, SEM, and EDX characterized the prepared samples. XRD and SEM showed that the as-prepared La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and La0.7Sr0.3CoO3 have multiphase. La0.7Sr0.3FeO3, in comparison, is nanosized, has a single-phase perovskite, and has a rather homogenous particle size distribution. Additionally, EDX mapping analysis shows that all pieces are distributed uniformly. All calcined powders contain 100% LSF, more than 15% perovskite phase of LSC, 47% LSM, and other secondary phases such cobalt oxide, according to X-ray diffractometer results. At room temperature and magnetic field ± 20 kG. La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 exhibited weak ferromagnetic behaviour in a low magnetic field, whereas diamagnetic behaviour was seen in a high magnetic field. La0.7Sr0.3FeO3 samples behave as strong ferromagnetic. On the contrary, the photodegradation of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 is 99% compared to 75% and 91% for other samples under UVA lights. The degradation rate for La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 is 0.179 higher, about 3.25 and 2.23, than the other samples. A La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 nanocomposite perform as a photocatalyst to enhance the efficiency of Methylene blue photodegradation.. This study boosts good UVA- photocatalysts with high efficiency for different kinds of dyes. Hence the catalyst possessed high stability and effieiency for continuous treatment of wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
