“…from 303 to 623 K), the prepared samples still exhibit the pure orthorhombic phase, implying their high thermal stability, which enables their promising applications in a high-temperature environment. Moreover, according to the obtained XRD patterns, it is evident that the cell volume shows a significant downward tendency at elevated temperatures, namely, it decreases from about 1128.757 to 1121.443 Å 3 , as presented in 32 Moreover, two peaks at 1624 and 3453 cm −1 , which are assigned to O-H vibrations, 33 are also observed in the studied samples. On the other hand, the light harvesting capacities of the final products were characterized by UV-vis diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy and the corresponding spectra are illustrated in Fig.…”
