Facile synthesis, characterization and enhanced catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol using NaBH4 by undoped and Sm3+, Gd3+, Hf3+ doped La2O3 nanoparticles
Abstract
This work focuses on the synthesis of undoped and doped lanthanum oxide nanoparticles (La2O3 NPs) by a simple co-precipitation method for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) using NaBH4 as a reducing agent. Their optical properties, morphologies, structure, chemical compositions and electronic properties were carefully characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, PL and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The SEM and TEM images showed...
