摘要
A perovskite-type oxide, La0.8Sr0.2MnO3, was synthesized by the organic solvent sol-gel method. The desired metal cations were chelated in a solution by using citric acid as the chelating agent and absolute ethanol as the solvent. The thermal decomposition of the metal carboxylate precursor gels was studied by thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyzer (TG/DTA) and the products derived from calcining the gels were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electronic microscope (TEM). The polarization curves were acquired on an electrochemical workstation (LK98) and the discharge curves were acquired on a testing instrument of batteries (DC-5), with a constant current discharge, less than 120 mA/cm^2. The results revealed that the nanometer perovskite-type powder with lesser particle size could be achieved with an organic solvent and had a better catalytic activity.
