Synthesis and Characterization of Lamn1-XFexO3 (X=0, 0.1, 0.2) by Coprecipitation Route

Synthesis and Characterizations of LaMnO3 Perovskite Powders Using Sol-Gel Method 

“…Upon measuring the average particle sizes, it is found to be in the range of 50-250 nm, which is a good result in favor of dye-synthesized solar cell application. We have a good agreement about the sizes of the powders in Ref [16]. In the fundamental nding as to its particle size, such an essential distinction is annealing temperature in sol-gel processing.…”

“…Lanthanum-based perovskite materials possess ostensible optical [1,2], magnetic [3][4][5] and catalytic properties [6]. These materials have been extensively preferred in many areas such as catalysts [7][8][9], chemical sensors [10], solid oxide fuel cell electrodes [7], hydrogen storage [11], optoelectronic devices [12], solar cells [13], magnetic materials [14,15] by virtue of stability, different oxidation states, exible oxygen stoichiometry, power conversion e ciency and isomorphic substitution of metals in their structures [10,16]. Foremost these applications, solar energy produced from perovskite-based solar cells is one of the most up-and-coming alternative energy sources on account of its relatively high energy conversion e ciency, low production cost, low production toxicity, ease of manufacture and exibility [17].…”

“…The e ciency of LaMnO 3 material relies on the synthesis techniques [26] such as solid-state reaction [27], combustion synthesis [28], hydrothermal synthesis [29], sonochemical synthesis [30], coprecipitation method [31], EDTA glycine process [32], core-shell [33], nanowires [34] and sol-gel [16,35]. In recent years, studies on LaMnO 3 synthesis have been launched using different precursors and several synthesis techniques in order to be applied for alternative realms of use.…”
