Abstract

The co-precipitation method was used to synthesize the Fe2O3–CeO2 nanocomposite in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). The effect of pH and temperature on the properties of nanocomposite was studied to optimize the reaction condition. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by using different analytical techniques including FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDX, and TGA. The results showed that increase in temperature and decrease in pH allow to reduce the particle size. The catalytic efficiency of synthesized nanocomposite was studied by using it as a catalyst for one pot synthesis of 2,4,5-triarylimidazole, which is simple, efficient and cost-effective method. The results showed that Fe2O3–CeO2 nanocomposite synthesized at higher temperature was more efficient catalyst due to having small particle size, while 2,4,5-triarylimidazole was analyzed by TLC, elemental analysis and GCMS.
