Facile Synthesis, Characterization, Catalytic and Photocatalytic Activity of Multiferroic BiFeO3 Perovskite Nanoparticles

Gd3+-substituted BiFeO3 perovskite nanoparticles: facile synthesis, characterization, and applications in heterogeneous catalysis

“…Due to the quantum confinement effect in the nano-regime, the prepared BFO samples exhibited a band gap energy of 2.16 eV, which was found to be lower than the published values of 2.20 eV, 55 2.18 eV (ref. 56) and 2.23 eV. 45 .…”

“…10. All the Gd-doped BFO perovskite samples exhibited isotherms of the amalgam of type II and type IV, 35,56 besides a hysteresis loop as shown in Fig. 10.…”

Microwave Combustion Synthesis of La1-xGdxFeO3 (x = 0 to 0.25) Nanoparticles: Structural, Magnetic, Vibrational, Morphology and Optical Behavior

“…where, h, k and l -miller indices; d hkl -interplanar spacing among miller indices, and a, b & c are lattice parameters; [25]. The estimated lattice parameters were displayed in Table . 1.It is noted that the lattice parameters were gradually increases while concentrations of Gd 3+ ion increases, due to lattice expansion as a consequence of higher ionic radii (229 pm) of gadolinium replaced with smaller ionic radii (250 pm) of lanthanum [26].…”

Novel magnetic nanocomposites BiFeO3/Cu(BDC) for efficient dye removal

“…Consequently, multiferroic materials offer diverse opportunities for various applications, including information storage, spintronic devices, magnetic recording media, and sensors. The unique combination of multipleferroic properties within a single material holds tremendous potential for enabling novel functionalities and advancing technological advancements in various fields [ [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] ]. Bismuth Ferrite (BiFeO 3 ) has gained significant prominence as a widely studied multiferroic material due to its remarkable coexistence of magnetic and electric ordering, exhibiting ferroelectric and anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) characteristics.…”
