Abstract

In this study, the effect of glycine quantity on the phase formation and crystal structures of lanthanum-doped Ce1-xLaxO2 (x=0.04) nanoparticles synthesized using the glycine combustion technique was investigated. Characterizations were conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman scattering spectroscopy. According to the results obtained from these characterizations, variations in the crystal sizes of the samples were observed depending on different glycine quantities, with an observed decrease in crystal size as the glycine quantity increased. Additionally, the results from Raman scattering spectroscopy revealed the relationship between characteristic peaks corresponding to Ce-O bonds and the crystal sizes of the samples. These findings demonstrate a significant influence of glycine quantity on the structural properties of the nanoparticles. This study serves as an important reference for researchers interested in the synthesis and structural characterization of lanthanum-doped Ce1-xLaxO2 nanoparticles.

Glisin Yakma Tekniği ile Sentezlenen Ce1-xLaxO2 (x=0,04) Nanoparçacıklarının Faz Oluşumu ve Kristal Yapıları Üzerinde Glisin Miktarının Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, glisin yakma tekniği kullanılarak sentezlenen Lantanyum katkılı Ce1-xLaxO2 (x=0,04) nanoparçacıklarının glisin miktarının faz oluşumu ve kristal yapıları üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. X-ışını kırınımı (XRD) ve Raman saçılma spektroskopisi kullanılarak yapılan karakterizasyonlar sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, farklı glisin miktarlarına bağlı olarak örneklerin kristalit boyutlarında değişimler gözlemlenmiş ve glisin miktarının artmasıyla kristalit boyutunda azalma tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, Raman saçılma spektroskopisi sonuçları, örneklerdeki Ce-O bağlarına ilişkin karakteristik piklerin ve örneklerin kristal boyutları arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymuştur. Bu sonuçlar, glisin miktarının nanoparçacıkların yapısal özellikleri üzerinde belirgin bir etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, Lantanyum katkılı Ce1-xLaxO2 nanoparçacıklarının sentezi ve yapısal karakterizasyonuyla ilgilenen araştırmacılar için önemli bir referans kaynağı olabilir.
