Destruction of charge ordering phase in La_（0.4）Ca_（0.6）MnO_3 induced by low Cr doping

Polycrystalline samples of La<0.4>Ca<,0.6>Mn<,1-x>Cr<,x>O<,3> (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) were prepared by the solid state reaction method. The influence of Cr<'3+> substitution for Mn<'3+> on the magnetic property and charge ordering phase of La<0.4>Ca<,0.6>MnO<,3> was studied through the measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetization-temperature (M-T) curves and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. The experimental results indicate that the mother's body of La<,0.4>Ca<,0.6>MnO<,3> has very complicated magnetic structure, exhibits charge ordering phase at 258 K, and shows long-range strongly correlated charge ordering-antiferromagnetism (CO-AFM) phase from 175 to 50 K.Spin glass state appears when the tempereature decreases to about 41 K. When the Cr substitution amount is x = 0.06, the charge ordering phase of the mother's body is de- stroyed, because the Cr<'3+> substitution for Mn<'3+> destroys the spin order of CE-type antiferromagnetism, and thus leads to the melting of charge ordering. It is verified experimentally that the strong coupling between charge order and spin order exists in the charge order system of CE-type antiferromagnetism     

Cr doping effect in B-site of La<Subscript>0.75</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>0.25</Subscript>MnO<Subscript>3</Subscript> on its phase stability and performance as an SOFC anode

La_0.75Sr_0.25Cr _y Mn_1−y O₃ (LSCM) (y = 0.0–0.6) composite oxides were synthesized by a complexing process of combining ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction, electrical conductivity, I–V polarization, and impedance spectroscopy were conducted to investigate the Cr doping effect of La_0.75Sr_0.25MnO₃ on its phase stability and electrochemical performance as a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode. The chemical and structural stabilities of the oxides increased steadily with increasing Cr doping concentration, while the electrical conductivity decreased on the contrary. At y ≥ 0.4, the basic perovskite structure under the anode operating condition was sustained. a cell with 0.5-mm-thick scandia-stabilized zirconia electrolyte and La_0.75Sr_0.25Cr _y Mn_1−y O₃ anode delivered a power density of ∼15 mW·cm⁻² at 850°C.

Effect of Nd2O3 addition on the surface phase of TiO2 and photocatalytic activity studied by UV Raman spectroscopy

TiO₂ modified with Nd₂O₃ (Nd-TiO₂) nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation method and utilized as the photocatalysts for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The influence of Nd₂O₃ on the bulk and surface phase, surface area, particle size, and optical response of TiO₂ was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), BET, and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra. It is found that the crystalline phase and phase composition in the bulk and surface region of Nd-TiO₂ calcined at high temperatures can be tuned by changing the amount of Nd₂O₃. Based on the results from XPS, EDX, XRD, and UV Raman spectra, it is assumed that Nd³⁺ ions do not enter the TiO₂ lattice, but highly disperse onto the Nd-TiO₂ particle surface in the form of Nd₂O₃ crystallites. These crystallites inhibit the agglomeration, growth in crystal size, and anatase-to-rutile phase transformation of TiO₂. In the photocatalytic degradation of RhB reaction, Nd-TiO₂ nanoparticles with higher surface area and wider optical response are more reactive in case of the same surface anatase phase. When the mixed phases of anatase and rutile exist in the surface region of Nd-TiO₂, the synergetic effect over surface area and optical response is the important parameter which determines optimal photocatalytic activity.
