and Mn ions
hydrothermal redox reactions of
to make CMR materials and disproportionation reactions to prepare three oxidation state manganese
oxides[25,26]. The factors that affect hydrothermal synthesis such as precursor, mineral reagent, alkaline
concentration, appropriate reaction temperature and
pressure play a significant role in the course of the
reaction. For instance, in our specific case when the
reaction temperature was lower than 260 C, we
obtained a mixture containing our title compounds and
an impurity of R(OH)3(R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm). The
amount of alkali is a key factor in producing the
perovskite in hydrothermal processing. KOH not only
maintains the alkalinity but also acts as mineralizing
agent. When the alkalinity was less than 15 mol/L in
our synthesis, the impurity mixture of R(OH)3,
KxMnO2(0.50.7)H2O and Fe(OH)3 was formed.
This indicates there is some competition between
thermodynamically and kinetically stabilized phases.
The high alkalinity of the reaction system is necessary
to obtain the desired ratios of n(R):n(Sr):n(Mn):n(Fe).
The optimal synthetic conditions for preparing the title
compounds are listed in Table 1. In the order of from
La to Sm, the needed alkalinity of the reactions decreased. We propose that the effect of alkalinity is due
to the fact that R3+ ions show a significant amphoteric
characteristic and the solubility of R(OH)3(from R=La
to R=Sm) increases in KOH.
