Abstract

The La0.8Sr0.1Nd0.1MnO3 manganite was prepared by using citrate gel method at various annealing temperatures (600, 700, 900, and 1000 °C) and used as a catalyst for methyl orange dye degradation. The structural analysis using X-ray diffraction and Rietveld method revealed that all samples crystallize in the rhombohedral structure with the R-3c space group. MnO6 distortion was induced by changes in Mn–O bond length and Mn–O–Mn angle which were confirmed after using Fourier transform infrared analyses. For all the compounds, the morphology of La0.8Sr0.1Nd0.1MnO3 samples revealed sponge-agglomerated particles. The photodegradation of methyl orange by using La0.8Sr0.1Nd0.1MnO3 photocatalyst at different annealing temperatures was investigated under visible light. The degradation efficiency increases from 61 to 74% by increasing the annealing temperature from 600 to 1000 °C for 60 min of illumination. From transport calculations, the merit factor ZT reaches 0.97 at 650 K and so it is suggested that the La0.8Sr0.1Nd0.1MnO3 compound also presents good thermoelectric properties at high temperatures.
