Abstract

Metal-organic framework nanostructure of Lanthanum (III) (La-MOF) was prepared for the first time by utilizing a new ultrasonic route; and relevant analysis of Differential scanning calorimetry, Field emission scanning emission microscope, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra, X-ray diffraction, Energy-dispersive X-ray mapping, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, Thermo-gravimetric curve, Fourier transform infrared spectra, Vibrating sample magnetometer test, Photoluminescence and Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses were used to characterize the synthesized nanostructure. Using ultrasonic irradiation, the results revealed the possibility of producing nanostructured samples of La-MOF that possess desirable physicochemical properties. Moreover, synthesized La-MOF under optimum conditions proved to have a remarkable surface area of 2935 m(2)/g. Therefore, this amount makes it possible to use these efficient nanostructures in various fields such as electrochemical procedures. In addition, this study was also carried out on the electro-catalytic behavior of La-MOF against 4-aminophenol.
