In this study, strontium-doped lanthanum manganites (La1-xSrxMnO3, LSMO) with different Sr contents were prepared by citrate-nitrate autocombustion (CNA) and coprecipitation synthesis. The phase structure and electrical conductivity of the LSMO samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and oxygen nonstoichiometry determination. The results showed that Sr doping and sample preparation method have a significant impact on the electrical conductivity of LSMO samples.
The strontium-doped lanthanum manganites (La1-xSrxMnO3, LSMO) have potential use in devices for energy conversion and storage due to their chemical stability and high electrical conductivity. In this study, LSMO (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were prepared by the citrate-nitrate autocombustion (CNA) and coprecipitation synthesis. The formation of the LSMO phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and the lattice parameters were determined by Rietveld refinement analysis. The oxygen nonstoichiometry in samples was determined by permanganate titration. The results of electrical conductivity measurement have shown semiconductor behaviuor in all samples, with conductivity rising with temperature and Sr-amount. Furthermore, it was observed that LSMO samples prepared by the coprecipitation method possess higher conductivity than samples prepared with the CNA method due to the higher oxygen nonstoichiometry. Electrical conductivities of all LSMO samples were in 10(-2)-0.45 Omega(-1) cm(-1) range, which is comparable to the conductivity of Si. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
