Synthesis and characterization of some compounds derived from iron based perovskite

Abstract

Perovskites are mixed-metal oxides that are attracting much scientific and application interest owing to their low price, adaptability, and thermal stability, which often depend on bulk and surface characteristics. These materials have been extensively explored for their catalytic, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. They are promising candidates for the photocatalytic splitting of water and have also been extensively studied for environmental catalysis applications. Despite the extensive uses, the commercial success for this class of perovskite materials has not been achieved for many other environmental applications. Owing to their high thermal stability, excellent oxidation activity, and low price; perovskites have been explored for a variety of environment-related and energy-related applications, including automobile exhaust purification, N2O decomposition, and water–gas shift reactions, electrodes of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), battery electrodes and sensor materials.
