Bi1-xCexFe1-xNixO3 (x = 0%, 4%, 6% and 8%) samples were synthesized using sol-gel method to study strategically the influence of Ce-Ni co-doping on structural, vibrational, magnetic, optical and photocatalytic properties utilizing various techniques. XRD showed that whole samples crystallized in single-phase as well as revealed a huge lattice distortion with rising Ce-Ni co-substitution content. A structural phase change from rhombohedral to orthorhombic occurred at the co-substitution sample with x = 8%, confirmed by XRD and the Rietveld refinement as well as Raman anal. EDS anal. evidenced the existence of Bi, Fe, Ce as well as Ni concentrations in the co-substitution samples with stoichiometric proportion. Crystallinity is noted to be raised when Ce-Ni is co-substitution in BiFeO3 (BFO). Ce-Ni co-doped in BiFeO3 significantly induced improvement of ferromagnetic property, which was shown by the drastic rising with a maximum saturation (Ms) magnetization values of 2.741 emu/g. The optical energy bandgap was sharply reduced with the Ce-Ni co-substitution concentration It was found that Ce3+ and Ni2+ co-substitution enormously impacted the photocatalytic efficiency of undoped BFO. Furthermore, with the increase of Ce-Ni co-doping into BFO up to 6%, the photocatalytic efficiency was maximized. The photocatalytic feasibility mechanism of Ce-Ni co-substitution BFO was discussed in detail. We have noted in this work that the fascinating properties in co-substituted BiFeO3 give the feasibility of producing a novel functional device. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3,7-Bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium chloride (cas: 61-73-4Reference of 61-73-4).
3,7-Bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium chloride (cas: 61-73-4) belongs to organic chlorides. Organic chlorides are compounds containing a carbon-chlorine bond, which are widely used in the oil field as a wax dissolver. Alkyl chlorides are versatile building blocks in organic chemistry. While alkyl bromides and iodides are more reactive, alkyl chlorides tend to be less expensive and more readily available.Reference of 61-73-4
