Description
A sol-gel (citric acid) technique was used to synthesize LaTiO3 at 3 different temperatures. The structural, morphological, and compositional analyses were implemented by making use of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, transmission electron microscope, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The XRD studies aides the synthesize of the perovskite-type LaTiO3 nanoparticles formed and the nature of the crystallinity were shown to enhance with rise in annealing temperature. The morphology of the samples shows a grain-like particle with the proper weight proportion of component elements. In addition , we have tested the samples photocatalytic activity by degrading a methylene blue dye solution. An improved photocatalytic activity was found at an elevated calcination temperature in particular samples.
