Abstract :

Bi2Mn2O7 nano-powders were synthesized via a stoichiometric 1:1 Bi:Mn molar ratio hydrothermal method at 180 °C for 48 h in a 1M NaOH aqueous solution; and solid state method, using Bi(NO3)3.5H2O and MnO2 as raw materials. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Also, the rietveld analysis was done in FullProf in profile matching mode. It was found that Bi2Mn2O7 crystallizes in a cubic crystal structure with space groupFd3 ̄m. The size and morphologies of the synthesized materials were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques, respectively. The FESEM images showed that the synthesized Bi2Mn2O7 has rod like structure in hydrothermal method and a mixture of rod and particle structures in solid state method. Also, BET-BJH analysis investigated for determination of pore size, pore volume, average particle size, pore width and surface area of the obtained materials. Also, photoluminescence spectra of the obtained materials were studied.
