Growth of Gd2O3 nanoparticles inside mesoporous silica frameworks
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials(2013)
摘要
Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles with very small size and narrow size distribution were synthesized by infiltration of Gd(NO3)3·6H2O as an oxide precursor into the pores of SBA-15 mesoporous silica using a wet-impregnation technique. High resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction show that during the hydrothermal treatment of the precursor at 550°C, gadolinium oxide nanoparticles inside the silica pores are formed. Subsequent dissolution of the silica framework in aqueous NaOH resulted in well dispersed nanoparticles with an average diameter of 3.6±0.9nm. If GdCl3·6H2O is used as precursor, GdOCl is formed instead of Gd2O3. The Gd2O3 nanoparticles showed a weak antiferromagnetic behavior, as expected.
