Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Ultrafine La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 powders were prepared via homogenization in chelate solutions, followed by microwave dehydration, using polynuclear heterometallic diethylenetriaminepentaacetates as precursors. To assess the effect of the dehydration procedure on the phase composition and grain size of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 ceramics, three routes were tested: concentration of chelate solutions by evaporation until the formation of a glassy precursor, microwave dehydration of chelate solutions, and a combination of gelation and microwave dehydration. Phase-pure La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 with a crystallite size of 30–40 nm (as determined by transmission electron microscopy) could be obtained via microwave dehydration of heterobimetallic precursor solutions, followed by calcination at a temperature as low as 800°C.
