Factors controlling pure-phase magnetic BiFeO3 powders synthesized by solution combustion synthesis

Combined structural, electrical, magnetic and optical characterization of bismuth ferrite nanoparticles synthesized by auto-combustion route

“…Various low temperature wet chemical methods, like hydrothermal, co-precipitation, micro-emulsion technique, modified Pechini's method, mechanochemical, sol-gel and solution combustion route, have been reported for the synthesis of BFO nanoparticles/ceramics [17][18][19][20][21][22] auto-combustion route but it is rare to find collective studies for structural, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of BFO nanoparticles [23][24][25]. It is known that the phase purity is needed for obtaining better magneto-electric properties of BFO.…”

Phase pure synthesis of BiFeO3 nanopowders using diverse precursor via co-precipitation method

“…Disadvantages of this process are coarser powder, extra phases and poor reproducibility. Nano sized BFO powder can be obtained by sol gel [11] and auto combustion [12] but these methods involve complex solutions and toxic reactions. Navarro et al [13] reported a new method for synthesizing BFO by thermal decomposition of Bi[Fe(CN) 6 ]·4H 2 O but could not avoid impurities like Bi 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 and (BiO) 2 CO 3 .…”

Magnetic and dielectric properties of Fe3BO6 nanoplates prepared through self-combustion method

“…[23][24][25] In a theoretical stoichiometric composition, oxidizing valence provided by the oxidizer is equal to reducing valence from the fuel. The chosen fuel with high reducing valences coupled with high enthalpy of combustion 9.27 kcal/g assisted to reach the ignition temperature and complete the combustion in short duration of the reaction time.…”
