Abstract

In this paper, neodymium vanadate (NdVO4) nanoparticles were synthesized via a new approach based on the reaction between neodymium nitrate hexahydrate and ammonium metavanadate in water. Besides, three carbohydrates such as fructose, galactose, and glucose were used to investigate their effects on the morphology and particle size of NdVO4 nanoparticles. According to the vibrating sample magnetometer, neodymium vanadate (NdVO4) nanoparticles indicated a ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. To evaluate the catalytic properties of nanocrystalline neodymium vanadate, the photocatalytic degradations of methyl orange under ultraviolet light irradiation were carried out. The structural, morphological, magnetic, and optical properties of as-obtained products were characterized by techniques such as XRD, SEM, EDX, VSM, and UV–Vis spectroscopy.
