Exploring multifunctionality: optical, impedance, and photocatalytic properties of Dy0.5Er0.5CrO3 nanomaterial synthesized via sol-gel method
The multifunctional properties, including optical, complex impedance, and photocatalytic performance of Dy0.5Er0.5CrO3 (DECO) compound fabricated via the sol-gel method have been thoroughly investigated. The optical study revealed an optical bandgap energy of 2.67 eV, indicating its potential for solar-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of harmful organic dyes. The AC-conductivity was investigated as a function of frequency and temperature. Its frequency dependence was found to follow Jonscher’s power law. The temperature-dependent ac-conductivity was explained by two models: the non-overlapping small polaron tunneling (NSPT) model and the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The impedance data analysis revealed a non-Debye type relaxation. The prepared material in this study demonstrated degradation efficiencies of 57% for Methylene Blue (MB) dye and 70% for Rhodamine B (RhB) dye. Notably, the degradation rate for RhB dye was found to be 54% higher than that of MB dye. Better optical, dielectric, and photocatalytic properties make this material useful for multifunctional applications.

期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
