Popis: | La(1-x)Sr(x)PO4 materials are very stable at high temperature and water vapor partial pressure and they show protonic conductivity; thus, they could be used as electrolytes in HTPFCs (high-temperature protonic fuel cells), hydrogen sensors, and hydrogen separation technology. This work describes the combustion synthesis of La(1-x)Sr(x)PO4 powders (x = 0, 0.025, 0.050) from mixtures of La(NO3)3·6H2O and Sr(NO3)2 as cation precursors, (NH4)2HPO4 as anion precursor, and urea as fuel. The characterization of the as-prepared combustion products showed that combustion synthesis provides a straightforward method for the achievement of solid solutions of these materials as nanometric powders. Furthermore, dilatometric studies reveal that dense ceramics can be obtained at low sintering temperature (1300 °C), in air, from the synthesized nanometric powders. |
