摘要
Peculiar features of the sol-gel synthesis of substituted manganites La1鈭?em>xAxMnO3 (A聽=聽Sr, Ba) have been investigated. Variation of the gel pH during synthesis was shown to affect the aggregation of particles and their crystal structure. Electrical properties of nanopowder and ceramic La1鈭?em>xAxMnO3 solid solutions were studied. Additional heat treatment was revealed to affect not only the resistivity, but also the character of its temperature dependence. It was shown that under the synthesis and heat treatment conditions used in the work, the La1鈭?em>xBaxMnO3 solid solutions with x聽=聽0.15 have the lowest conductivity at 1200聽K, which allows using them as thick-film cathodes.
