Apatite-type lanthanum silicates show a great potential to be used as an electrolyte for intermediate-to low-temperature (600-700 C) solid oxide fuel cells (ITSOFC). However, so far these materials need to be prepared using a very high-temperature method, thus there is a growing interest to prepare apatites at lower temperatures. This paper reports the synthesis of undoped La 9.33 Si 6 O 26 and doped apatites (La 9 CaSi 6 O 26,5 , La 9 SrSi 6 O 26,5 , and La 9 BaSi 6 O 26,5 ) from raw materials La 2 O 3 , Na 2 SiO 4 , BaCO 3 , CaCO 3 , and SrCO 3 using a hydrothermal method. The polycrystalline apatites were obtained as a white powder, after the basic solution of the reagent mixture was heated at 240 C in an autoclave for 3 days. Le Bail refinement of the X-ray powder diffraction data showed that the compounds have a hexagonal cell (P 6 3 /m space group). In this paper, the undoped La 9.33 Si 6 O 26 and La-doped apatite ionic conductivities are also presented.
