Synthesis and Characterization of a Mixed Metal (Fe, Bi) Oxides

Mixed metal oxide (MMO) plays an appreciable role in many areas of chemistry. In fact, different metals in their various oxidation states can combine in different ratios to produce a variety of materials. The Mixed metal oxides are used in many applications in the electronic industry and various fields of science and technologies, microelectronic circuits, sensors, piezoelectric devices, fuel cells, because of physical, chemical, and morphological properties [1]. These can adopt a vast number of structural geometries with an electronic structure that can exhibit metallic, semiconductor or insulator characters [2].In this work, we synthesized a mixed metal oxideof Iron(III) and Bismuth (III) and characterized by Infrared(IR) spectroscopy (figure 1) and X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD)(figure 2).The BiFeO3 solution was prepared by dissolving (3mmol, 0.14 g) ratio of Bi(NO3)3.5H2O with (2mmol, 0.8 g) of Fe(NO3)3.9H2O were mixed with deionized water (DI) under continuous magnetic stirring
