The Effect of Pulse Laser Ablation Method on the Morphology of Ta2O5 Nanoparticles

Irma Safira, Eko Hidayanto, Ali Khumaeni

Abstract


In this study, tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅) nanoparticles were synthesized using the pulsed laser ablation method with deionized water (DIW) as liquid medium. The pulse laser ablation method produces nanoparticles with high purity due to its lack of reactant contamination. Ta₂O₅ nanoparticles were successfully synthesized with a UV-Vis wavelength of 293 nm.  FESEM images produced excellent images with an average nanoparticle size of 16.92 nm.

Keywords


Tantalum Pentoxide Nanoparticles; Pulsed Laser Ablation; Deionized Water.
