Structural transformation on transition metal doped Sm2O3 nanomaterials

Sm2O3 and Sm2O3-based nanostructures for photocatalysis, sensors, CO conversion, and biological applications

“…Aswathy et al synthesized Co-doped Sm 2 O 3 through a combustion method. 51 Sm(NO 3 ) 3 •6H 2 O and Co(NO 3 ) 2 •6H 2 O were mixed in glycine solution and it was heated at 700 °C for 2 h and sintered at 900 °C for 10 h. The synthesized Co-doped Sm 2 O 3 particles were porous which showed a particle size between 75 and 90 nm. The synthesis of Ni-doped Sm 2 O 3 was reported by Zhang et al 52 A precipitation method was utilized using Ni(NO 3 ) 2 •6H 2 O and Sm(NO 3 ) 3 •6H 2 O as the precursors and EDTA and NaOH as the additives.…”
