Abstract
Perovskite ABO3 displays excellent properties due to its stable structure, which can be further enhanced by doping different elements at the A or B sites. In this study, vanadium was doped into titanate with the specific composition (La0.3Sr0.7)0.88Ti1-xVxO3-δ (LSTVO) (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15), which was synthesized using a liquid-phase combustion method. We investigated the phase structure, sintering characteristics, and conductivity of the materials. By introducing the A-site deficiency, the LSTVO demonstrated significantly low sintering temperatures and outstanding sinterability. Vanadium doping facilitated in-situ sintering to achieve a high density of up to 92 % at 1200 °C by forming a strontium vanadate molten phase. The conductivity of the (La0.3Sr0.7)0.88Ti0.95V0.05O3 sample ranged from 60.00 to 30.37 S cm−1 between 300 and 800 °C. The proposed sintering mechanism indicates that adding vanadium and non-stoichiometry at the A-site is crucial for improving density and conductivity.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
