Abstract
In this work, a series of GdFeO3 nanopowders was successfully synthesized via a reverse co-precipitation technique at different solution temperatures (0, 25 and 50 ◦ C) followed by thermal treatment. Co-precipitated hydroxides and heat treatment products were analyzed using EDXS, DTA-TGA, PXRD, ASA and LD methods. It was shown that the formation temperature of GdFeO3 nanoparticles varies in the range of 737.5758.8 ◦C and total weight loss varies in the range of 23.6-26.4% depending on the temperature of initial solutions. The specific surface areas of nanopowders were found to be strongly dependent on the factor mentioned above and belong to 2.5-16.3 m[1]/g values interval. The hierarchical structure of the obtained nanopowders was established and the effect of co-precipitation temperature on the average crystallite (21.4-34.3 nm), aggregate (46.2-301.2 nm) and agglomerate (33.5-40.9 pm) sizes was discussed in detail.
Supporting agencies: The research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project No. 19-73-00286). The study was partially performed on equipment of the Engineering Center of Saint Petersburg State Institute of Technology. The authors acknowledge D.P. Danilovich (EDXS, DTA-TGA, LD) and M.I. Chebanenko (ASA) for their help with the physicochemical characterization of the samples.
