Rietveld Refinement of Palladium immobilized on Zn3[Fe(CN)6)2.1.33H2O19.22/SiO2 Nanocomposite prepared by Coprecipitation Method.

Abstract

This research article presents the synthesis and Rietveld Refinement of Palladium on the SiO2 doped Prussian Blue compound i.e.Pd@Zn3[Fe(CN)6)2 1.33H2O19.22/SiO2. Synthesis was carried outby wet chemical Coprecipitation method. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was applied to study the structural parameters. The refinement of XRD data was done by using Fullprof suit software. For obtaining microstructural parameters, we had done the Rietveld Refinement. It provides parameters like interatomic distance, Wyckoff position etc. The Bragg R factor, Rp value, Rexp value were also calculated. The result of rietveld refinement reveals that the crystal had Fm3m space group geomatry. Applications of Prussian blue were also mentioned in the presented paper.
