Synthesis of nanocrystalline ternary bismuth iron antimony oxide with pyrochlore structure

Synthesis of Bi–Fe–Sb–O Pyrochlore Nanoparticles with Visible‐Light Photocatalytic Activity

“…Recently, we synthesized a Bi-Fe-Sb-O pyrochlore nanosized powder by the same method. [10] However, the preparation of this single-phase compound by the coprecipitation method was complicated by the restricted synthesis conditions with HCl as the only possible solvent and monoethanolamine and ammonia as the precipitators. The slightest deviation from the admissible synthesis parameters results in the formation of an admixture with the BiOCl phase.…”
