I want to dope 1% La in Tio2 nanoparticles using La(NO3)3.6H2O precursor by sol gel method using glycine as a complexing agent then how to calculate the weight of the complexing agent??
Your reactions will be in the following sequence La(NO3)3.6H2O>La (OH)3>La2O3. Calculate the molar masses of substances and use them to determine the amount of La for a given precursor taken. Then, keeping in mind the amount of titanium dioxide, determine the % La.More precisely, you need to do the opposite. Set the amount in g of La to be added to TiO2 so that the La content is 1% and count from right to left in the chain of reactions.
Yuri Mirgorod I only want to know how to calculate the weight of complexing agent i.e. glycine and rest I had calculated already. Can you please explain it in detail??
