In this paper, Ba doped LaMnO3 nanoparticles (LBMO), a promissing material for making cathode of SOFC, were prepared by microwave combustion method. This material has many advantages. Effect of the amount fuel in the combustion reaction on the products was studied by various methods such as: X-ray diffraction measurement, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive Xray spectroscopy. The results showed that each doping rate requires an appropriate amount of fuel to obtain pure and crystalline product. The obtained LBMO nanoparticles are crystallined in hexagonal phase at doping ratio of and orthohombic phase at doping ratio of equal or larger than . |
