LaCoO3-based materials are studied because they exhibit interesting, electrical, magnetic and catalytic properties. In this contribution, LaCoO3 powders were synthesized by sol-gel method in aqueous medium starting from metal nitrates or acetates, and citric acid as the chelating agent at room temperature. The relation between the reactions in solution, crystallization pathway and morphology is discussed. The dried powders were amorphous. Their thermal decomposition occurs stepwise upon heating to 400 degrees C for nitrate or 500 degrees C for acetate-based precursors, respectively. Pure perovskite LaCoO3 phase is formed after heating at 600 degrees C in the case of nitrates while in the case of acetates separation of phases occurs when 2 mol of citric acid are used. The choice of the precursor influences the morphology of the powders heated at 600 degrees C. The nitrate-based powders are composed of agglomerates of fine particles while the acetate-based powders mainly consist of gel fragments. Some preliminary electrical and catalytic properties are also presented. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
