Bismuth-iron-based precursor: preparation, phase composition, and two methods of thermal treatment.

ABSTRACT: Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO₃) is a promising Bi-based perovskite-type material, which is multiferroic due to the coexistence of anti-ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity. During the preparation of pure BiFeO₃ nanoparticles, however, the phase structures and species of bismuth-iron-based precursor (BFOH) were still unclear, and so related precursors were prepared. X-ray diffraction, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray absorption near-edge structure techniques were used to probe the phase structure and species of the precursors. It was found that the precursor BFOH is composed of Bi₆O₆(NO₃)₄(OH)₂·2H₂O, Bi₆O₅(NO₃)₅(OH)₃·3H₂O, Fe(OH)₃
