Preparation and Characterization of Nanocrystalline La₂Ti₂O₇ by Microwave Assisted Process

Abstract:

Using La (NO₃)₃·6H₂O, TiCl₄ , and citric acid as the main raw materials, nanocrystalline La₂Ti₂O₇ samples were prepared by microwave assisted method. The structure and morphology of samples were characterized by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of La₂Ti₂O₇ was studied for methyl orange (MO) used as simulated sewage. It was found that the single phase La₂Ti₂O₇ could be obtained through the calcination of microwave processed La₂Ti₂O₇ precursors at 600 °C. The resulted product had an approximate spherical shape and average grain size of 50 nm in diameter. Under UV light, the photocatalytic experiment indicated that the prepared La₂Ti₂O₇nanocrystalline had high photocatalytic activity for degradation of methyl orange.
