Perovskite synthesis phase

There have been many solution techniques used to synthesize the superconducting perovskite-related phases, but no experiment has really achieved a substantial improvment of the synthesis, compared to conventional solid state reaction. 

Recently the synthesis of perovskite-type phases including barium titanate has been studied in terms of cavitation under the action of ultrasound. For example, the formation of monodisperse BaTi03 partieles at T < 90 °C in a strongly alkaline medium with the help of intense ultrasound has been studied in Ref. [272]. In the acoustic field, particles acquire a spherical shape and their size distribution has low variance, see Fig. 5.14. Barium titanate has been prepared sonochemically in aqueous solution according to the following reaetion... 

The original technology of powdered perovskite synthesis based upon mechanochemical activation (MA) of solid starting compoimds has been elaborated. It is distinguished by the simplicity, high productivity and yields highly dispersed perovskites of luiiform phase composition.

Due to recent developments in synthesis, the preparation of nanocrystalline polymorphs, which are usually unstable as bulk phases, has been achieved for several materials such as ZrC>2, Ti02 and various perovskites. The appearance of these exotic materials does not necessarily mean that they are thermodynamically stable, since the kinetics (templates and surfactants) are probably more important for the processes than the thermodynamics. Adsorption of water may also play an important role as in the case of alumina, but in the data given in Figure 6.19 the effect of water has been accounted for [25]. 

During this same period of time, Michel and Raveau reported (141) the synthesis of La3BasCu6014+y, a new compound having some close relationship to the perovskite structure. This compound was the precursor to a variety of different copper-oxide derivatives a more complete paper on its structure was published (142) in 1987, and the recent physical property measurements indicated (143) no superconductivity in either the quenched or oxygen-annealed phases. 

Alkaline earth-containing ternary nitrides make up the second largest group of ternary phases. Because the alkaline earth metals form stable binary nitrides, most alkaline earth containing ternary nitrides have been synthesized by the reaction of a binary nitride with a metal or by the reaction of two binary nitrides. This synthesis has resulted in a number of new ternary nitrides with a variety of structures. For example, the reaction of calcium nitride with Group 14 or 15 metals or metalloids forms a series of structurally related ternary nitrides with the anti-perovskite type structure. In Ca3MN (M = P, As, Sb, Bi, Ge, Sn, Pb) (Figure 8.5) the... 

Perovskites AB)/3C2/303 (A = Ba, Sr, B = Zn, Mg, Co, Ni C = Nb, Ta) are promising compounds for microwave applications. It is important to synthesize these complex oxides as pure perovskite phases because the slightest admixture of a second phase hinders drastically the dielectric properties of ceramics, which sinter only at very high temperatures (1400 to 1500°Q. The precursor chemistry resembles greatly that of BaTi03 formation by alkoxide or alkoxide-hydroxide routes. Below we summarize the 3 approaches to the synthesis of these perovskites by the sol-gel method ...
