Abstract
In the current study, an attempt is made to synthesize europium vanadate (EuVO4) nanoparticles via a simple method with the aid of europium nitrate hexahydrate and ammonium metavanadate. Capping agents are frequently used in colloidal synthesis to inhibit nanoparticle overgrowth and aggregation as well as to control the structural characteristics of the resulted nanoparticles in a precise manner. Sulfanilic acid, cinnamic acid, and salicylic acid were applied as capping agents. XRD, SEM, EDS, and UV–vis spectroscopy were employed to characterize structural, morphological, and optical properties of EuVO4 nanoparticles. According to the vibrating sample magnetometer result, EuVO4 nanoparticles indicated a paramagnetic behavior at room temperature. Furthermore, the photocatalytic properties of as synthesized EuVO4 were evaluated by degradation of methyl orange as water contaminant.
