Abstrakt: New layered perovskite oxides with samarium (Sm+3) rare earth doped layered perovskite materials were synthesized and characterised by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size measurements and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Sm0.5Ba0.5MnO3-δ and SmBMn2O5+δ, were synthesized by conventional solid state reaction method. Rietveld analysis of XRD data shows that all materials crystallize in the orthorhombic symmetry in the Pmmm space group. SEM images show porous structures which should be suitable as electrode materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). TGA results indicate the mass loss of 0.022% for SmBMn2O5+δ. Density calculation shows the materials have about 85% relative density.
