SYNTHESIS, STUDY ON THE OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF COBALT-DOPED HOLMIUM ORTHOFERRITE NANOPARTICLES
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this study, cobalt-doped holmium orthoferrite nanoparticles (HoFe1–xCoxO3 with x = 0; 0.1 and 0.2 in theoretically) were successfully synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method. The single-phase HoFe1–xCoxO3 nanocrystals formed after annealing at 850 °C for 1 hour possess a size of about 50–70 nm. The cobalt-doped holmium orthoferrite nanoparticles exhibit a large light absorption in both ultraviolet and visible regions. The band gap energy of the HoFe1–xCoxO3 materials decrease gradually with increasing cobalt doping concentration (Eg = 1.92–1.71 eV). The HoFe1–xCoxO3 electrodes present their suitability for using as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Specifically, the CHFO_0.10 (x = 0.1) electrode delivered a charge capacity of 288.97 mAh·g–1 after 70 cycles, corresponding to a capacity retention of 126.42% compared to the first cycle.
