AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on synthesizing Magnesium substituted Cerium Ferrite Perovskites (CeMgFeO) using the citric acid-sol gel method and examines their properties across a range of magnesium substitutions (0 to 1).
  • Various characterization techniques like X-Ray diffraction and spectroscopy were used to analyze the structural, magnetic, and optical traits of the synthesized materials.
  • Results indicate that CeMgFeO perovskites exhibit exceptional dye degradation (99%) as a photo-Fenton catalyst and possess semiconductor properties with a narrow bandgap and weak ferromagnetism, outperforming standard oxides like CeFeO₃ and CeMgO₃.

Article Abstract

Magnesium substituted Cerium Ferrite Perovskites (CeMgFeO) have been prepared in the range of 0 ≦ x ≦ 1 via citric acid-sol gel method. The structural, surface characteristics, magnetic and optical properties of these synthesized materials were studied by analyzing the data from X-Ray diffraction, Fourier Transform-Infra Red Spectroscopy, Fourier Transform-Raman Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Ultra Violet-Diffused Reflection Spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller isotherm and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer techniques. The results obtained from the various characterization techniques revealed that the CeMgFeO perovskites can be raised as an excellent photo-fenton catalyst with 99% dye degradation ability when alkaline earth metal magnesium is doped compared to standard (CeFeO₃ and CeMgO₃) oxides, a semiconductor material with a narrow bandgap and a weak ferromagnetic material.
