Characterization of Bismuth Vanadate Nanopowder Prepared by Microwave Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bismuth vanadate (Bi2VO5.5) nanopowder was prepared by microwave method at 500 Watt for 2, 4 and 6 min. Bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi (NO3)3•5H2O) and ammonium vanadate (NH4VO3) were used as the starting precursors with mole ratio of 2:1. The phase of Bi2VO5.5 nanopowder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of Bi2VO5.5 nanopowder was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical composition of Bi2VO5.5 nanopowder was determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The functional groups of Bi2VO5.5 nanopowder was identified by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
