Abstract: | The present work explores mechanosynthesis of lanthanum aluminate-based perovskite ceramics and corresponding effects on ionic-electronic transport properties. La1-xCaxAlO3-δ (x = 0.05-0.20) nanopowders were prepared via one-step high-energy mechanochemical processing. Sintering at 1450°C yielded dense ceramics with submicron grains. As-prepared powders and sintered ceramics were characterized by XRPD, XPS and SEM. Electrochemical studies showed that partial oxygen-ionic conductivity in prepared La1-xCaxAlO3-δ increases with calcium content up to 10 at.% in the lanthanum sublattice and then levels off at ~6×10-3 S/cm at 900°C. La1-xCaxAlO3-δ ceramics are mixed conductors under oxidizing conditions and ionic conductors with negligible contribution of electronic transport in reducing atmospheres. Oxygen-ionic contribution to the total conductivity is 20-68% at 900°C in air and increases with Ca content, with temperature and with reducing p(O2). Impedance spectroscopy results showed however that electrical properties of mechanosynthesized La1-xCaxAlO3-δ ceramics below ~800°C are determined by prevailing grain boundary contribution to the total resistivity. |
