Abstract

ZnO nanoparticles have many applications in photocatalysis. The sol-gel technique is one of the lowest-cost and easy-to-perform methods for synthesizing ZnO nanoscale. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of precursors on the characteristics of the ZnO nanoparticles obtained by using the sol-gel method, including examining the purity of ZnO nanopowder, crystal structure/size, and morphology. ZnO nanopowder was prepared using zinc acetate dihydrate, zinc chloride, and zinc sulfate heptahydrate as various precursors, and calcination was carried out at temperatures of 400 and 600°C. ZnO nano powder was characterized by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). ED-XRF data shows that the highest purity of ZnO is 97.2% using zinc acetate dehydrate precursor. The precursors greatly influence the crystal structure and size of the ZnO nanopowders. In this study, the XRD ZnO pattern shows the hexagonal structure (wurtzite) with the crystal size of the ZnO nanopowders is 37-84 nm. Temperature variations affect the structure and morphology of ZnO powder. SEM micrographs of ZnO nanopowders are small spherical and twig-like agglomerations.

Abstract

Synthesis of ferroelectric material based onAurivillius phases, (Ca0.5Ba0.5)Bi4Ti4O15 (CBBT), have been done using a molten salts technique.The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the characteristic peaks at 2θ = 12.93°, 17.31°, 21.64°, 23.23°, 27.71°, 30.33°, and 32.90° which was correspond to the four-layers of Aurivillius phase.Refinement structure using the Le Bail method, the sample is suitable for orthorhombic structures with the A21am space group. The orthorhombicity of the CBBT is small and nearer to tetragonal symmetry.Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) spectra show distortion of TiO6 octahedral at 847 cm-1 and strain vibrations of TiO6 octahedra at 545 cm-1 due to A-O bonds.Analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) shows the morphology of the sample in the form of plate-like which is characteristic of Aurivillius phase.The ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition temperature (Tc) was obtained at 635ºC.The band gap value of the CBBT compound was 3.17 eV, relatively the same with the CaBi4Ti4O15 (CBT) compound.
