Abstract
In the current study, an attempt is made to synthesize cadmium titanate (CdTiO3) nanoparticles via a simple fabrication with the aid of cadmium acetate and tetra-n-butyl titanate. 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. Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, diethanolamine, and sodium dodecyl sulfate were applied as capping agents. XRD, SEM, EDS, and UV–Vis spectroscopy were employed to characterize structural, morphological, and optical properties of CdTiO3 nanoparticles. According to the vibrating sample magnetometer result, CdTiO3 nanoparticles indicated a ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. Furthermore, the photocatalytic properties of as synthesized CdTiO3 were evaluated by degradation of methyl orange as water contaminant.
