For the first time, a bimetallic metal–organic framework of (MOF) La
3+ and Ce3+ (Ce, La-MOF) was synthesized using a new solvothermal route. Also, monometallic MOFs La3+ (La-MOF) and Ce3+ (Ce-MOF) were synthesized using the mentioned method. To identify, and analyze the synthesized nanostructures, field emission scanning microscopy (FSEM), energy dispersive X-ray mapping (MAP), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravity curve (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Brunauer–Emmt–Teller surface area (BET) were used. According to the XRD diffraction patterns of Ce–La-MOF nanostructure, no additional peaks are derived from La species, which confirms that the addition of La does not change the crystalline phase structure of Ce-MOF. The size of La-MOF, Ce-MOF, and Ce, La-MOF nanostructures was calculated by the Williamson-Hall method and reported as 72.97, 55.46, and 81.55 nm, respectively. The specific surface area (BET) results for La-MOF, Ce-MOF, and Ce, La-MOF nanostructures were reported as 140, 200, and 260 m2 g−1 respectively, and the mean pore volumes of the nanostructures were reported as 0.019, 0.022 and 0.030 cm3 respectively. These values allow the use of these versatile nanostructures in various applications such as biosensing, separation and purification, medicine field, and catalysts. In addition, in this study, modified electrodes for synthesized nanostructures were tested for the electrooxidation of acetaminophen. And the obtained results show better electrocatalytic behavior of bimetallic Ce, La-MOF nanostructures than monometallic La-MOF, Ce-MOF nanostructures against acetaminophen.
