Abstract

The single crystals of potassium oxalate oxalic acid dihydrate (KH3(C2O4)2.2H2O) were synthesized using the slow solvent evaporation technique at room temperature. The unit cell parameters of the crystal were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The crystal belongs to triclinic crystal system, –P1 space group. The structural analysis of synthesized crystal was carried out using powder X-ray diffraction technique. The surface morphology of the crystal was studied using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The elemental composition was determined and mapped using Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis. The crystal was studied using UV-visible transmission spectrum. The photoluminescence properties of the crystal were studied by recording the emission spectrum. The thermal stability of the crystal was analyzed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Furthermore, light induced I-V studies reveal the probability of the synthesized crystal in photo-resistance applications.
