Praseodymium oxide nanostructures: novel solvent-less preparation, characterization and investigation of their optical and photocatalytic properties

Abstract

Praseodymium oxide (Pr6O11) nanostructures were prepared via a new simple solvent-less route.

Synthesis and physicochemical properties of La(OH)3 and La2O3 nanostructures

“…La(OH) 3 and La 2 O 3 have been studied extensively as support materials for luminescent activator ions, such as Tb(III) and Eu(III) ions [3,[27][28][29][30]. Other lanthanides oxides have also extensively been studied [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”

New sodium dodecyl sulfate-assisted preparation of Nd2O3 nanostructures via a simple route

“…The development of a reliable and simple way for preparation of nanostructured Nd 2 O 3 is of great importance to the potential 30 investigation of its characteristics. It has been reported that particle size and shape have key impact on the characteristics of nanoscale materials 19,20 . So, exploring desirable and appropriate ways to produce nanostructured Nd 2 O 3 and controlling its morphology and particle size seems necessary and noteworthy.…”

Nanocrystalline barium stannate: facile morphology-controlled preparation, characterization and investigation of optical and photocatalytic properties

“…The absorption peak appear at 3426 cm -1 in Fig. 1b is attributable to the v(OH) stretching vibration of physisorbed water molecules [22]. The characteristic band of the barium stannate appears at 646 cm -1 [26] (Fig.…”

“…So far, reverse micelle, solid state, coprecipitation, combustion and solgel approach [11][12][13][14][15] have been reported to synthesize barium stannate. Since shape, size and size distribution have key and considerable impact on the characteristics and applications of the nanomaterials, several procedures have been reporting on particle size and shape controlled preparation of nanomaterials [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
