Chelating Agents Assisted Rapid Synthesis of High Purity BiFeO3: Remarkable Optical, Electrical, and Magnetic Characteristics

Abstract In this study, we presented two reliable methods, the sol–gel and autocombustion, to synthesis a high purity BiFeO 3 single phase with low calcination time using glycine as chelating agent. The glycine-autocombustion method produced either or concentrations of reactants (Bi(NO ) + Fe(NO ), while glycine-sol–gel delivered reactants. case tartaric acid urea agents, mixtures Bi 25 FeO 40 phases were formed. morphology, size, porosity particles obviously changed by varying agents. samples exhibit visible light band gap 2.05 eV long absorption tail extending infrared region, suggesting suitability synthesized powders in solar photocatalytic applications. A weak hysteresis ferromagnetic loop was observed for (glycine method) /Bi (urea large contribution from paramagnetic behavior. On contrast, robust loops found sample saturation magnetization reaching 2.5 emu/g. Remarkably, pure auto-combustion methods possess room temperature dielectric constant values 622 845 respectively at frequency 42 Hz. prepared acid, exhibits 401 1118 assisted samples, same frequency, respectively. At real part complex permittivity tend be zero which confirms negligibly small electrode effect.
