Synthesis of BaMoO4 Nanocrystallites Using Sol-Gel Process

Abstract

BaMoO4nanocrystallites were synthesized successfully using Sol-gel process with (NH4)6Mo7O24•4H2O, BaCl2•2H2O, citric acid and PEG400 as original materials. The result shows that well-crystallized BaMoO4nanoparticles were formed at 600°C with size of ca.50nm. The synthesized BaMoO4nanocrystallites were characterized by XRD and IR, and the optical property was studied as well.
