Popis: The high-temperature superconducting material Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x (2212) was synthesized by reaction of oxides and carbonates. Several stoichiometries and a range of temperatures and oxygen partial pressures were investigated for the production of pure 2212. The reaction sequence to form Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x was found to consist of initial formation of Bi compounds, their subsequent reaction to form the Bi 2 Sr 2 CuO x phase and CaCu oxides, and a slow reaction to form the Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x phase. The best powder was made from a Bi:Sr:Ca:Cu composition equal to 2.0:1.7:1.0:2.0. The optimum heat treatment was found to consist of initial heating to about 725 °C in flowing oxygen at a reduced total pressure of 5 x 10 2 Pa, followed by brief heating in air to about 885 °C, and, finally heating in air at 842 °C for 2 to 3 days.
