Abstract
Herein is a new procedure to synthesize lanthanum oxide (La2O3) nanoparticles, which is eco-friendly and simple. The La2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by sol-gel method using modification in time of stirring, type of PEG, and temperature of the reaction. Scherer's formula was used to estimate the average crystallite of La2O3 nanoparticle size from X-ray diffraction peaks of powder. The measured average particle size of La2O3 nanoparticles using the major signals of the X-ray diffraction spectrum after calcination was 37 nm. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy technique was done to analyze the chemical structure of synthesized materials. The surface morphology of obtained nanoparticles was also studied by SEM and AFM techniques. Thermal gravimetric analysis was investigated by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to confirm the thermal stability of synthesized nanoparticles.
