Abstract

In the present work, a synthesis methodology was made to produce Ce­1/2Cu3Ti4O12 double perovskites by citric acid assisted Sol-Gel reaction, producing a metal-organic precursor with the stoichiometrically necessary ions to form the structure. Calcinations were made at different temperatures, varying from 670 °C to 1070 ° to optimize the thermal treatment. A two-cycles calcination at 1070 °C were standardized. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), HRTEM, Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and Diffuse Reflectance UV-Vis-NIR Spectroscopy were made to characterize the samples. XRD Diffractograms were analyzed using a Rietveld Refinement to identify the phases present in the samples, FTIR-ATR studies showed information about metallic bonds in the temperature evolution. Tauc plot method revealed a correlation between the presence of the phase and the band gap in every sample, associating a band gap with the Ce­1/2Cu3Ti4O12 structure.
