ABSTRACT

The bismuth oxide (BiO) nanoparticles have been successfully prepared by co-precipitation method. The crystallite size and morphology of bismuth oxide have been investigated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The calculated average crystallite sizes of BiO in 34 nm. Furthermore, bismuth oxide nanoparticles have the crystallite size in the range ~24-38 nm, as confirmed by TEM. Results obtained indicate that the co-precipitation method is a promising low temperature, cheap, and fast method for the production of bismuth oxide nanostructures.
