Preparation of Lanthanum Molybdate Powers by Sol-Gel

Abstract

Lanthanum molybdate powders were prepared by sol-gel using lanthanum nitrate, ammonium molybdate, citric acid as the main raw materials. The prepared powders were characterized by XRD, SEM, BET and other methods. It is concluded that the best sintering temperature was 550°C, the aging time was 1h and the best ph value was 1.5.
