Polycrystalline samples of the perovskites: SrPb1−xBixO3−δ (x = 0, 0.1) were prepared from the dissolution of stoichiometric amounts of Sr(NO3), Pb(NO3)2 and Bi(NO3)3 in aqueous media. The solutions were heat-dried at 75°C obtaining powder precursors. To determine the temperature of formation of these phases, thermal analyses were made on them. Calcination at 650°C for 6 h produced pure samples, which were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The surface microstructure of powders was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, and showed that this preparation procedure yield micron-sized particles, which formed agglomerations. To evaluate their gas sensing behavior, the resulting powders were finely ground and mixed with acetone to form thick-films. The electrical conductivity vs. temperature of films was measured in dry air, O2 and CO2, and resulted that SrPb0.9Bi0.1O3−δ has a better sensitivity to O2 compared to SrPbO3−δ, caused by the partial substitution of lead by bismuth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
