Rhe. Vandoorn et al., PREPARATION OF LA0.3SR0.7COO3-DELTA PEROVSKITE BY THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF METAL-EDTA COMPLEXES, Journal of materials chemistry (Print), 8(9), 1998, pp. 2109-2112
Perovskite powders of La0.3Sr0.7CoO3-delta were prepared by the therma
l decomposition of precursor complexes derived from nitrate solutions
using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a complexing agent. Th
e calcination temperature is 920 degrees C. Powders thus obtained have
a low carbon contamination. Dense ceramics with a relative density of
about 96% have been prepared after sintering at 1150 degrees C.
