Radiat Prot Dosimetry
July 2024
Electromagnetic shielding parameters are crucial to investigate unexplored nanoparticles and their nanocomposites. Herein, calcium-iron-aluminium (Ca: Fe: Al) nanocomposites are synthesised using the simple solution combustion technique. The as-synthesised nanocomposites with various doping concentrations of Al nanoparticles are characterised to study the structural and surface parameters and to confirm the successful formation.

Over a century, shielding harmful electromagnetic radiations (EMR) and finding a suitable material, which can replace lead has become the major interest of researchers in this field. Herein, calcium-iron-chromium oxide nanocomposites with the different atomic ratios are synthesized using the solution combustion method. The as-obtained nanoparticles (NPs) are subjected to several structural and surface characteristics such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, elemental diffraction X-ray analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy analysis were performed to confirm the successful synthesis.

Instead of pure lead, lead mixed compounds/mixtures/alloys are considered to be less toxic and hence preferred for radiation shielding purposes. The compounds with magnesium are said to be having good magnetic and mechanical properties.
