Abstract
La1-xCax(B1,B2,B3)O3 perovskite powders doped with calcium were synthesized and sintered. Calcium doping modified the A-site of the perovskite structure, while the B-site was composed of three cations in equal atomic amounts. Cations on the B-site included cobalt, chromium, iron, manganese, and nickel. Sintering temperature varied from 1200 to 1400 °C in air. Density measurements and microstructure imaging determined effect of composition on sintering. Electrical conductivity of sintered compacts was measured using the four-wire measurement method at temperatures of 300 to 900 °C in air. Electrical properties as a function of composition indicate the effect of calcium doping in combination with varied B-site substitution increases electrical conductivity and improves sintering.
合成并烧结了掺有钙的 La1-xCax(B1,B2,B3)O3 包晶粉末。钙掺杂改变了包晶结构的 A 位,而 B 位则由三种原子量相等的阳离子组成。B 位上的阳离子包括钴、铬、铁、锰和镍。烧结温度在 1200 至 1400 °C 的空气中变化。密度测定和微观结构成像确定了成分对烧结的影响。采用四线测量法测量了烧结压块在 300 至 900 ℃ 空气中的电导率。电性能与成分的函数关系表明,钙掺杂与不同的 B 位取代相结合可提高电导率并改善烧结。
