Abstract
AbstractFeCr2O4:Zn,Al pigment powders were prepared via a solution combustion synthesis method. Effects of Zn and Al dopants and less/extra Fe content on the structure, molecular bonds, and optical properties of powders were studied. Results showed that addition of dopants as well as extra/less content of Fe led to weaker combustion and consequently lower X‐ray diffraction peak intensities, lattice parameters, and differential thermal analysis peak intensities. Moreover, Fourier transform infrared analysis illustrated that the band position of Cr–O and Fe–O bonds were shifted to higher frequencies with moving away from stoichiometry. In addition, scanning electron micrographs showed that in all samples, porous spongy microstructures were formed with highly flake‐like agglomerated particles. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between the powder samples and the tiles colored with in glaze powders due to the partial dissolution of pigments in contact with the molten glaze of tiles. In comparison to the tile colored with the stoichiometric FeCr2O4 pigments without dopants, the color difference (ΔE) in the tiles colored by the iron chromite pigments doped with Zn and Al dopants and less/extra Fe content reached the high values as large as ΔE = 36.19. The solar reflectance values (Rs) in near‐infrared region were above 50% in all samples. Near 80% Rs in the tile colored by the iron chromite pigment doped with 3 mol% Zn and the yellowish brown appearance (L* = 43.44, a* = 6.77, b* = 18.38, c* = 19.59, h = 69.79) showed that the sample was a good candidate for cool building materials such as roof tiles.
