Abstract

In this work, Bi2Fe4O9superfine particles were prepared by hydrothermal method and effects of hydrothermal conditions on the microstructure of Bi2Fe4O9, especially the concentration of OH-([OH-]) in initial solutions, were investigated. The results showed that [OH-] had obvious influences on the growth of Bi2Fe4O9under the same hydrothermal temperature and hydrothermal time. Phase structure of Bi2Fe4O9unchanged with the increase of [OH-] and maintained orthorhombic structure. Besides, the microstructure of Bi2Fe4O9was carefully studied through transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results suggested that the mechanism of Bi2Fe4O9growth was Ostwald ripening. In conclusion, Bi2Fe4O9superfine particles with good morphology and microstructure can be successfully synthesized when the concentration of OH-is 2 mol/L and hydrothermal conditions are 240 °C for 6h.Keywords: Bi2Fe4O9, hydrothermal method, phase structure, growth mechanism Topic code numbers: C2
