Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has a high electric conductivity due to oxygen vacancies. The Ce(SO4)2.2H2O doped samples TiO2 and TiO2 pure was obtained sol-gel process, and characterized by X-ray diffractometry,thermal analysis, and impedance spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction patterns for TiO2 pure samples shows at 700?C anatase phase is absent, and only the diffraction peaks of rutile phase are observed. However, the cerium doped samples only at 900?C rutile in the phase present with peaks of cerium dioxide (CeO2). The thermal analysis of the TiO2 pure and small concentration cerium doped samples show two steps weight loss corresponding to water of hydration and chemisorbed. To larger concentration cerium doped samples were observed two steps weight loss in the transformation of the doped cerium possible intermediate species and SO3. Finally, two steps weight loss the end products CeO2 and SO3 are formed. Analyse electric properties at different temperatures and concentration cerium doped samples have been investigated by impedance spectroscopy. It was observed that titanium, can be substituted by cerium, changing its electric properties, and increased thermal stability of TiO2 anatase structure / Os ?xidos met?licos t?m sido muito estudados devido suas diversas aplica??es como materiais semicondutores em c?lulas solares, catalisadores, c?lulas combust?veis e resistores. O Di?xido de Tit?nio possui uma alta condutividade el?trica devido ?s suas vac?ncias de oxig?nio. Amostras de TiO2 puro, obtidas pelo m?todo sol-gel e dopadas com solu??es de Ce(SO4)2.2H2O, foram analisadas atrav?s de difratometria de raios-X, an?lise t?rmica e espectroscopia de imped?ncia. Atrav?s dos difratogramas de raios-X observou-se a transi??o completa das fases anat?sio-rutilo, para a amostra do TiO2 puro a partir de 700?C. Entretanto, para as amostras dopadas, essa transi??o s? ? completa a partir de 900?C, aparecendo picos correspondentes ao ?xido de c?rio. Atrav?s da an?lise t?rmica se observou uma perda de massa, para o TiO2 puro e dopado com a menor concentra??o de c?rio, correspondente ? desidrata??o e a ?gua quimissorvida. Para as amostras dopadas em uma maior concentra??o, foram observados dois est?gios de perda de massa, devido a decomposi??o do dopante em intermedi?rios e SO3. Essas amostras apresentaram mais duas perdas de massa devido a forma??o do CeO2 e SO3. A partir da espectroscopia de imped?ncia analisou-se as propriedades el?tricas das amostras em fun??o da temperatura de calcina??o e em fun??o da concentra??o do dopante. Tamb?m foi observado que o c?rio, por ter a capacidade de substituir o tit?nio na sua estrutura cristalina, modifica suas propriedades el?tricas e tem o poder de estabiliz?-lo termicamente em certas temperaturas

The nickel oxide is an attractive material due to its excellent chemical stability and their optical properties, electrical and magnetic. In this work, CeO2-NiO- systems on molars reasons 1:1(I), 1:2(II) e 1:3(III) metal-citric acid were synthesized using the Pechini method. We used techniques of TG / DTG and ATD to monitor the degradation process of organic matter to the formation of the oxide. By thermogravimetric analysis and applying the dynamic method proposed by Coats-Redfern, it was possible to study the reactions of thermal decomposition in order to propose the possible mechanism by which the reaction takes place, as well as the determination of kinetic parameters as activation energy, Ea, pre-exponential factor and parameters of activation. It was observed that both variables exert a significant influence on the formation of complex polymeric precursor. The model that best fitted the experimental data in the dynamic mode was R3, which consists of nuclear growth, which formed the nuclei grow to a continuous reaction interface, it proposes a spherical symmetry (order 2 / 3). The values of enthalpy of activation of the system showed that the reaction in the state of transition is exothermic. The variables of composition, together with the variable temperature of calcination were studied by different techniques such as XRD, IV and SEM. Also a study was conducted microstructure by the Rietveld method, the calculation routine was developed to run the package program FullProf Suite, and analyzed by pseudo-Voigt function. It was found that the molar ratio of variable metal-citric acid in the system CeO2-NiO (I), (II), (III) has strong influence on the microstructural properties, size of crystallites and microstrain network, and can be used to control these properties / O ?xido de c?rio tem um alto potencial em uso para remo??o de p?s poluentes de combust?o, remo??o de mat?rias org?nicas de ?guas residuais e na tecnologia de c?lulas a combust?vel. O ?xido de n?quel ? um material atraente devido a sua excelente estabilidade qu?mica, bem como suas propriedades ?pticas, el?tricas e magn?ticas. Neste trabalho, sistemas de CeO2-NiO nas raz?es molares 1:1(I), 1:2(II) e 1:3(III) metal-?cido c?trico foram sintetizados utilizando o m?todo Pechini. Foram utilizadas t?cnicas de TG / DTG e DTA para monitorar o processo de degrada??o da mat?ria org?nica at? a forma??o do ?xido. Atrav?s da an?lise termogravim?trica e aplicando-se o m?todo din?mico proposto por Coats-Redfern, foi poss?vel realizar estudos das rea??es de decomposi??o t?rmica com o intuito de propor o poss?vel mecanismo pelo qual a rea??o se processa, como tamb?m, a determina??o de par?metros cin?ticos como energia de ativa??o, Ea, fator pr?-exponencial e par?metros termodin?micos de ativa??o. Foi observado que ambas as vari?veis exercem grande influ?ncia na forma??o do complexo polim?rico precursor. O modelo que melhor ajustou-se aos dados experimentais no modo din?mico foi o R3, que consiste de crescimento nuclear, onde, os n?cleos formados crescem at? atingirem uma interface de rea??o cont?nua, este, prop?e uma simetria esf?rica (ordem 2/3). Os valores de entalpia de ativa??o do sistema evidenciaram que a rea??o no estado de transi??o ? exot?rmica. As vari?veis de composi??o, juntamente com a vari?vel temperatura de calcina??o foram estudadas por diferentes t?cnicas, tais como: DRX, IV e MEV. Tamb?m foi realizado um estudo microestrutural pelo m?todo de Rietveld, cuja rotina de c?lculo foi desenvolvida para ser executada no pacote do programa Fullprof Su?te, e analisada pela fun??o pseudo-Voigt. Verificou-se que a vari?vel raz?o molar metal-?cido c?trico no sistema CeO2-NiO (I),(II),(III) tem forte influ?ncia nas propriedades microestruturais, tamanho de cristalito e microdeforma??o de rede, e podem ser usados para controlar estas propriedades

This material was synthesized by the complexation method combining EDTA/Citrate with the stoichiometric ratio of the element Praseodymium ranging from x = 0.1 to x = 0.9 in order to determine the influence of this rare earth element on the morphology and microstructure of the final powder. At first the material was synthesized based on the route proposed by literature (Santos, 2010), and then characterized by SEM and XRD, besides being refined by the Rietveld method. In the material that had lowest residual parameter, S, and lowest average size of crystal, pH variation of synthesis solution was made in order to identify the influence of this parameter on the morphology and microscopy of the final powder. The results show that addition of praseodymium did not directly influence the crystallographic and lattice parameters, keeping even the same orthorhombic structure of the binary material BaCexO3, according to Yamanaka et al (2003). Material type BaCe0,2Pr0,8O3 had lowest residual parameter (S=1.4) and lowest average size of crystallite (26.4 nm), being used as reference in the pH variation of synthesis solution for 9, 7, 5 and 3, respectively. Variation of this parameter showed that when the synthesis solution pH was decreased to below 11, there was an increase in the average size of crystals, for pH 9, about 58.3%, for pH 7 (30.3 %), for pH 2 (2.3%) and for pH 3 (42%), indicating that the value initially used and quoted by Santos (2010) was the most coherent / No presente trabalho, perovskitas bin?rias do tipo (BaCexO3) foram dopadas com praseod?mio (Pr) para obten??o de materiais tern?rios do tipo BaCexPr1-xO3. Esse material foi sintetizado pelo m?todo de complexa??o combinando EDTA/Citrato, com a raz?o estequiom?trica do elemento praseod?mio variando de x=0,1 a x=0,9, com objetivo de determinar a influ?ncia deste terra rara na morfologia e microestrutura do p? final. Em principio o material foi sintetizado com base em rota proposta na literatura (Santos, 2010), sendo em seguida caracterizado via MEV e DRX, al?m de serem refinados pelo m?todo Rietveld. No material que obteve menor par?metro residual, S, e menor tamanho m?dio de cristal foi feita a varia??o do pH da solu??o de s?ntese a fim de identificar a influ?ncia deste par?metro na morfologia e microscopia do p? final. Os resultados mostram que a adi??o do elemento praseod?mio n?o influenciou diretamente os par?metros cristalogr?ficos e de rede, mantendo, inclusive, a mesma estrutura ortorr?mbica do material bin?rio do tipo BaCexO3, de acordo com Yamanaka et al (2003). O material do tipo BaCe0,2Pr0,8O3 obteve menor par?metro residual (S=1,4) e menor tamanho m?dio de cristalito (26,4 nm), sendo usado como refer?ncia na varia??o do pH da solu??o de s?ntese para 9, 7, 5 e 3, respectivamente. A varia??o desse par?metro mostrou que quando foi diminu?do o pH da solu??o de s?ntese para valores abaixo de 11, houve um aumento no tamanho m?dio dos cristais, para o pH 9, em torno de 58,3 %, para o pH7 (30,3%), para o pH2 (2,3%) e para o pH3 (42%), indicando que o pH 11 utilizado inicialmente e citado por Santos (2010) foi o mais coerente

Realizou-se um planejamento experimental fatorial 2? com tr?s repeti??es no ponto central para avaliar a influ?ncia dos par?metros de s?ntese, pH (5, 7,5 e 10), taxa de aquecimento (5, 7 e 10 ?C.min-1) e tempo de calcina??o (3, 4 e 5 h), na forma??o da fase, no tamanho m?dio de cristalito e no band gap do material. Os p?s foram caracterizados atrav?s das an?lises TG/DSC, DRX, EDX, MEV e DRS-UV/Vis. Atrav?s da curva da an?lise TG/DSC, observou-se a decomposi??o dos org?nicos at? a temperatura de 600 ?C, temperatura a qual foi utilizada na calcina??o dos precursores. Os difratogramas dos p?s obtidos foram indexados com a ficha cristalogr?fica JCPDS (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards) com c?digo de referencia 01-070-1382 de estrutura monocl?nica do tipo Scheelita e grupo espacial C2/c. N?o foram identificadas fases secund?rias. Os difratogramas foram refinados pelo m?todo Rietveld, onde foram obtidos os par?metros de rede e volume de c?lula unit?ria. As an?lises de EDX (% at?mica) mostram que h? desvios m?ximos de 15 e 10% entre as porcentagens at?micas te?ricas e experimentais de Ce e Mo, respectivamente. Atrav?s das imagens de MEV, observou-se que os p?s s?o formados por aglomerados de part?culas de tamanhos e formato heterog?neos, formando um material poroso. O estudo do tamanho de cristalito foi feito baseado na interpreta??o dos dados dos difratogramas. Utilizou-se os m?todos de Halder-Wagner-Langford (HWL) e de Scherrer, revelando tamanho m?dio de cristalitos variando entre 11,67 e 32,75 nm. As propriedades ?pticas das nanopart?culas foram avaliadas por meio da an?lise de DRS-UV/Vis atrav?s da qual foram medidos os band gap ?pticos que variaram entre 2,33 e 2,43 eV, caracter?stico de materiais semicondutores com potencial para aplica??es fotocatal?ticas utilizando a luz vis?vel como fonte de radia??o. O m?todo de s?ntese utilizado mostrou-se eficiente para produ??o de um material cristalino, monof?sico e de tamanho nanom?trico. Observou-se que a s?ntese realizada com pH 5, taxa de aquecimento de 5?C.min-1 e tempo de calcina??o de 3h se mostrou mais adequada para produ??o do material com as caracter?sticas desejadas de tamanho de cristalito e band gap. Os testes de fotocat?lise indicaram que o material sintetizado possui alto potencial de adsor??o do corante em pH 2, alcan?ando uma remo??o de quase 95% do corante em 30 minutos de contato, sem irradia??o de luz. O estudo do efeito da concentra??o de catalisador indicou que a diminui??o da concentra??o de molibdato de c?rio para 0,125 g.L-1 aumentou o potencial de remo??o de corante para 99% em 3 horas de rea??o. Observou-se ainda atrav?s dos testes fotocatal?ticos que a diminui??o da concentra??o do corante ocorreu pela adsor??o do azul de metileno na superf?cie do material sem degrada??o da mat?ria org?nica, dentro das condi??es experimentais adotadas. Os resultados de cin?tica de adsor??o indicaram que a adsor??o do azul de metileno nas part?culas de molibdato de c?rio pode ser descrita pelo modelo de pseudo-segunda ordem para as condi??es estudados no trabalho. / In this work, nanosized ceramic materials of scheelite family were synthesized, the cerium molybdate, through the combined complexing method EDTA-Citrate. It was conduced a 2? factorial design with three central points to evaluate the influence of synthesis parameters pH (5, 7.5 and 10), heating rate (5, 7 and 10 ? C min-1) and calcination time (3, 4, and 5 hr), on phase formation, the crystallite size and the band gap of the material. The powders were characterized by TG/DSC, XRD, EDX, SEM and DRS-UV/Vis analysis. Through TG/DSC curve, it was observed the decomposition of organics until 600 ?C, which this temperature was used in the calcination of the precursors. The XRD powders patterns were indexed to the crystallographic card JCPDS (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards) n? 01-070-1382 of Scheelite type with monoclinic structure and space group C2/c. No secondary phases were identified. The XRD patterns were refined by Rietveld method, where the lattice parameters and unit cell volume were obtained. The EDX analysis (atomic %) show that there is maximum deviation of 15 and 10% on the theoretical and experimental atomic percentages of Ce and Mo, respectively. Through the SEM images, it was observed that the powders are formed by particles agglomerations of heterogeneous format and size, forming a porous material. The crystallite size study was done based on the interpretation of data from the XRD patterns. It was used the Halder-Wagner-Langford (HWL) and Scherrer methods, revealing average size of crystallites ranging between 11.67 and 32.75 nm. The optical properties of the nanoparticles were evaluated using the DRS-UV/Vis analysis whereby the optical band gap were measured ranging from 2.33 to 2.43 eV, classifying the material as a semiconductor with potential for photocatalytic applications using visible light as the radiation source. The synthesis method used was efficient for the production of a crystalline, nanosized and single phase material. It was observed that the synthesis performed at pH 5, heating rate of 5 ?C min-1, and calcination time of 3hr were more suitable for the production of materials with the desired characteristics of crystallite size and band gap. Photocatalysis tests indicated that the synthesized material has a high potential for dye adsorption at pH 2, achieving a removal of nearly 95% of the dye in 30 minutes of contact, without light irradiation. The study of the effect of catalyst concentration indicated that the decrease of concentration of cerium molybdate to 0,125 g.L-1 increased dye removal potential to 99% in 3 hours of reaction. It was also observed through the photocatalytic tests that the decrease in concentration of the dye occurred by methylene blue adsorption on the material surface without degradation of organic matter, within the experimental conditions. The adsorption kinetics results indicated that the adsorption of Methylene Blue on cerium molybdate particles can be described by the pseudo second-order model for the conditions studied in this work.
