As reported in our previous work, Sr3Al2O6 nano powders were synthesized by a one-step solid state reaction using Al﴾NO3)3.6H2O, Sr﴾C2H3O2)2 and Sr﴾NO3)2 at 800 and 900 ̊C for 8 h. For the synthesis of Sr3MxAl2O6+δ ﴾M= Sm3+, Eu3+, Ho3+ and Yb3+) nano powders, Al﴾NO3)3.6H2O, Sr﴾NO3)2, Eu2O3, Ho2O3 and Yb2O3 were used at 800 ̊C for 8 h. In the present work, the photocatalytic performance of Sr3MxAl2O6+δ ﴾M=None, Sm3+, Eu3+, Ho3+ and Yb3+) nanomaterials were investigated for the degradation of Malachite Green (MG) water pollutant in aqueous solution under direct white visible light irradiation with the light power 40 W. The optimum conditions were obtained by design expert software for (5%) Al2O3 - (95%) Sr3Al2O6 (S1). It was found that the optimum conditions were 0.2 mL of H2O2, 20 mg of catalyst, and 40 min. The initial volume and concentration of MG solution were 150 mL and 100 ppm, respectively. It was found that Sr3Al2O6 had excellent efficiency under the optimized conditions at the presence of direct visible light irradiation. The degradation yield in the optimized conditions was 100 %. تفاصيل المقالة

Doping some lanthanide ions into Sr2As2O7 crystal system is reported for first time by a simple solvothermal method using Sr(NO3)2, As2O3, Er2O3 and Nd2O3 compounds. Characterization of the as-synthesized nanomaterials is done by powder X-ray (PXRD) analysis. Rietveld analysis data confirmed that the synthesized materials were crystallized in a mixture of three crystal phases. FESEM images revealed that dopant ion type had a considerable effect on the morphology of the final product. The data showed that the morphology of the synthesized materials were comb-like structure and particle. Direct band gap energy (Eg) of the materials obtained using ultraviolet-visible spectra showed that the Eg was about 3.5 eV. The synthesized nanomaterials were used as catalyst in the Biginelli reactions. The data confirmed that the materials could behave as Lewis acid catalyst in the reactions. The catalytic performance of the synthesized sample was 92% when the catalyst amount was 0.03 g, reaction temperature was 90 °C and the reaction time was 100 min. تفاصيل المقالة
