Preparation of Nanoparticulate YFeO₃ by Ultrasonic Assisted Method and its Visible-Light Photocatalytic Properties

Abstract:

Using Fe (NO₃)₃⋅9H₂O, Y(NO₃)₃⋅6H₂O and citric acid as the main raw material, the YFeO₃ nanoparticles were synthesized by ultrasonic assisted process and calcination. The YFeO₃ nanoparticles were characterized by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results show that the perovskite structureYFeO₃ (YFeO₃-800) can be obtained through the calcination of ultrasonic processed YFeO₃ precursors at 800 °C, and the resulting product has a particle size of 70 nm and an optical band gap of 2.0 eV. Consequently, the YFeO₃-800 nanoparticles show high photocatalytic activity for decomposition of methyl orange under visible-light irradiation.
