Using the solid-state process, the new compound Ba0.54Na0.46Nb1.29W0.37O5 was effectively produced in a single crystalline phase. The material’s characteristics were determined by X-ray diffraction and Raman techniques. The Rietveld method was applied to refine the structural properties of this sample using X-ray diffraction data and derive the diffraction line profile. The cell parameters a = b = 12.37843 ± 0.02 and c = 3.93526 ± 0.02 were accustomed to crystallizing this compound in the tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) structure of the space group P4bm. Thanks to Raman measurements, we were able to detect numerous vibration modes in this crystalline phase. The adsorption of methylene blue (MB) on crystalline phase was studied by UV–visible spectroscopy. On account of methylene blue adsorption on Ba0.54Na0.46Nb1.29W0.37O5, it was discovered that this material can be used to remove organic pollutants and thus be used for water treatment.
Glasses of the compositions 20Li 2 O-(50 − x)Li 2 WO 4 -xFe 2 O 3 -30P 2 O 5 where (x = 0, 1, 5, 8, 10, 15 mol%) were elaborated by the melt-quenching route. Synthesized glasses are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC), and density determination. The XRD patterns confirmed the amorphous nature of samples, and IR spectra showed the structural groups and highlight the depolymerization of phosphate network with the introduction of iron oxide. It is found that the structural unit Q 2 converts to Q 1 and Q 0 as Fe 2 O 3 replaces Li 2 WO 4 . Chemical durability tests on the glasses have shown that the compositions containing pyrophosphate (Q 1 ) and orthophosphate (Q 0 ) units are more water-resist. The electrical conductivity measurements were performed by complex impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range of 20 -10 6 Hz at various temperatures from ambient to 400˚C. It is found that the conductivity is activated thermally and follows an Arrhenius law. The obtained electrical data were analyzed by the modulus formalism and dielectric formalism. The determined asymmetric nature of max M M ′′ ′′ spectra suggested that the relaxation behavior is non-Debye and characterized by the stretched exponent parameter β < 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
