Abstract

We report the synthesis of lanthanum ferrite by solution combustion method using metal nitrates and some natural and cheap compounds as raw materials. The combustion reactions of metal nitrates, as oxidants with sorbitol, glucose, saccharose, or starch as fuels were investigated by thermal analysis. LaFeO3 nanopowders were characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and specific surface area measurement (B.E.T. method)..
