Preparation of Nanoparticulate YFeO3 by Microwave Method and its Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using Fe (NO3)39H2O, Y(NO3)36H2O and polyvinyl alcohol as the main raw material, the YFeO3 nanoparticles were prepared by a microwave process. The YFeO3 nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results show that the perovskite structureYFeO3 can be obtained, and the resulting product has a particle size of 70 nm and an optical band gap of 2.4 eV. The recovery of YFeO3 photocatalysts was performed by the photocatalytic experiment of load YFeO3. It is found that YFeO3 nanocrystalline photocatalysts can be efficiently recovered by magnetic polymer film load.
