Abstract

The thermal decomposition of a heteronuclear complex, La[Fe(CN)6] · 5H2O, leads to the preparation of nanosized single-phase perovskite-type LaFeO3 powders. The microstructural evolution of LaFeO3 with the temperature has been studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The product of the decomposition at 500 °C consists of nanoporous grains which have the morphology of the complex, but diffracting as a monocrystal of LaFeO3. At the higher temperatures, the nanosized particles start to separate from each other, still keeping the shape of the complex grains and forming soft agglomerates. The formation of LaFeO3 from the complex at low temperatures is facilitated by the formation of an orthorhombic transition phase.
