Plasma deposition of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 thin films on yttria-stabilized zirconia from aerosol precursor

High Performance Cathodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells Prepared by Infiltration of La0.6Sr0.4CoO3−δ into Gd-Doped Ceria

“…4a. Several studies have reported varying thermal decomposition temperature for Sr(NO 3 ) 2 but most fall within the range of 550-620 C. 23,24 The decomposition of La(NO 3 ) 3 to LaO(NO 3 ) is in the range of 350-470 C (Ref. 4a are presented in ascending order starting from room temperature (RT1) up to 900 C. An XRD pattern was also taken at room temperature (RT2) after it has been cooled down from 900 C. The XRD peaks shift towards low reflection angles upon heating, reflecting lattice expansion.…”

Synthesis and on-line ultrasonic characterisation of bulk and nanocrystalline La0.68Sr0.32MnO3 perovskite manganite

“…A variety of methods are available such as co-precipitation [8,10], sol-gel [11], hydrothermal [12], ball mill [13], spray pyrolysis [14], pulse laser deposition [15], molecular beam epitaxy [16], magnetron sputtering [17], metal-organic decomposition [18], electrochemical deposition [19] and aerosol pyrolysis [20] to prepare the nanosized LSMO perovskite materials. The sonochemical method is one of the simple techniques which are successfully employed to prepare highly pure and homogeneous nanostructured powders [19].…”

Deterioration and film forming abilities of the slurries used for preparing La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 films through composite sol–gel method

“…For the preparation method of La 1−x A x MnO 3 films, such as RF-sputtering technique [7], plasma deposition [8], pulsed laser deposition [9], screen-printing [10,11], MOCVD (Metallo-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) [12], FAVD [13] and the sol-gel method have all been successfully used. As one of the most frequently used method for ceramic film or coating, the sol-gel method has several advantages, such as excellent homogeneity, easy control of film thickness, ability to coat large and complex shapes, simple and low-cost processing, etc., [14].…”
