Abstract

We present the structural studies of perovskite-type La1−xSrxCrO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.30) compounds synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The as-synthesized samples exhibit that orthorhombic crystal structure with Pnma space group was confirmed using the X-ray diffraction method. The peak shift towards higher 2θ values was observed, which may be due to charge imbalance created by Sr2+ substitution in LaCrO3 and compensated by the mixed valence of Chromium ion and oxygen defects. The Rietveld fitted X-ray diffraction pattern confirms a single-phase orthorhombic structure belongs to the Pnma space group. The effect of Sr2+ substitution on bond lengths and bond angles of LaCrO3 are observed by the detailed analysis of Rietveld fitted data. It was observed that lattice parameters and cell volume decrease with increasing Sr2+ concentration. Raman spectroscopy results show that with increasing Sr2+ concentration, there is a decrease in intensity and slight shifting of modes towards lower wave number in low and high wavenumber region. FTIR spectroscopy result reveals that the bending and stretching vibration occurred due to O–Cr–O and Cr–O bonding. Our XPS studies revealed that Lanthanum and strontium are in 3+ and 2+ oxidation states, and Cr is in 3+, 4+, and 6+ oxidation states. The present study revealed the structural distortion and increase of Cr oxidation states along with the oxygen vacancies.
