Nanostructured bismuth ferrite nanoparticles: synthesis, characterization, electrical/magnetic properties and photocatalytic performance.

Nanostructured bismuth ferrite (BiFeO) single-phase nanoparticles with 76.2% crystallinity and 100% perovskite structure were synthesized using a co-precipitation method. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the perovskite structure of BFO, and Rietveld refinement demonstrated the presence of a triclinic structure with the 1 space group.

Structure, magnetic, and photocatalysis of LaSrMO (M = Mn, Co, and Fe) perovskite nanoparticles: Novel photocatalytic materials.

The present study, LaSrMO (M = Mn-, Co-, and Fe-), perovskite, has successfully been synthesized via co-precipitation and sol-gel auto-combustion. XRD, SEM, and EDX characterized the prepared samples. XRD and SEM showed that the as-prepared LaSrMnO and LaSrCoO have multiphase.
