“…At these temperatures, according to the reported thermal decomposition of the individual metal nitrates, simultaneous phenomena occur including dehydration of metal nitrates to form concentrated salt solutions, the condensation of Cr(NO 3 ) 3 , and the elimination of NO x and CO 2 as reaction product gases. , The decomposition of the solvent 2-methoxyethanol into CO 2 and CO is expected to occur in the same temperature range. Note that the use of additives in DMF-AA, DEA, and CA entails the formation of intermediates such as aconitic acid in CA , and modifies the covalency of the metal–ligand bonds, changing the decomposition temperatures of the different thermal events when compared to pure nitrate decomposition. ,,,, In addition, in the case of DEA, the strong exothermic DSC peak at 310 °C is related to the violent oxidative decomposition of diethanolamine to NH 3 and acetic and formic acid. , At temperatures above 320 °C, the decomposition of acetic acid into CH 4 and CO 2 and the condensation of La(NO 3 ) 3 and Sr(NO 3 ) 2 , which release gases such as H 2 O, NO x , and CO 2 , take place . These events are related to the presence of endothermic peaks at temperatures of ∼400 °C and ∼600 °C, respectively.…”
