Embodiment 1

[0044] Under standard milling conditions, the starting powders are weighed and mixed in the required proportions to obtain the final component composition. In this particular example, 3.3 grams of lanthanum oxide (La 2 o 3 ) and 1.7 grams of cobalt oxide (Co 3 o 4 ) into a cylindrical tempered steel container with a wall thickness of 5 mm containing 3 tempered steel balls [two balls 7 / 16 inch (11 mm) in diameter and one ball 9 / 16 inch (14mm)]. Preferably, the total weight of powder added to the container is about 5-7 grams. Close the container with a thick lid and seal with a VITON O-ring. In order to vary the grinding impact energy, different sets of grinding balls with various sizes and specific gravity can be used.

[0045] The container is inserted horizontally in the laboratory SPEX TM On the vibration mill, the grinding is generally carried out at a vibration speed of 1000 rpm, and the grinding time is 1-20 hours.

[0046] Although grinding is performed at room t...

Embodiment 2

[0057] It is believed that when high energy milling is performed in a sealed vessel, the oxygen contained in the trapped air is rapidly consumed by the exposed metal atoms on the new surfaces created by the broken crystals from repeated impacts in the vessel. Therefore, milling is quickly carried out under an inert nitrogen atmosphere. In this case, the exposed surfaces "stick back" together, reducing the specific surface area of ​​the perovskite. Therefore, just like the first step, in order to increase the specific surface area, the standard grinding atmosphere should be modified.

[0058] For example, in a third preferred embodiment, first, perovskite is synthesized in a sealed container according to Example 1. The newly synthesized perovskite was then further high-energy milled in an atmosphere with constant oxygen content for up to 72 hours. To allow standard air to infiltrate the container, a ring of filter paper is used instead of the container's sealing joint to keep...

Embodiment 3

[0061] In the fourth approach, perovskites were prepared in tungsten carbide vessels under standard milling conditions. However, because the density of tungsten carbide balls is higher than that of tempered steel balls, the vibration speed must be reduced to avoid damage to the container or the grinding balls.

[0062] In the fifth scheme, the perovskites obtained under standard grinding conditions were post-treated. Post-processing involves further high-energy milling of the perovskite under a humid atmosphere. Preferably, in order to obtain the humid atmosphere, a simple method is to add a small amount of water (6 drops) to the perovskite (about 5 grams), seal the container, and then carry out standard grinding 1-6 Hour.

[0063] Table 1 shows the LaCoO for obtaining the first, fourth or fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention 3 type perovskite structure, in ground lanthanum oxide (La 2 o 3 ) and cobalt oxide (Co 3 o 4 ) after using the BET method to measu...

Abstract

Perovskite-type structure compounds having the general empirical formula ABO3 are prepared by a process comprising subjecting a mixture of starting powders formulated to contain the components represented by A and B in the formula to a high energy milling sufficient to induce chemical reaction of the components and thereby synthesize a mechanically-alloyed powder comprising the perovskite in the form of nanostructural particles. The process according to the present invention is simple, efficient, not expensive and does not require any heating step for producing a perovskite that may easily show a very high specific surface area. Another advantage is that the perovskite obtained according to the present invention also has a high density of lattice defects thereby showing a higher catalytic activity, a characteristic which is highly desirable in their eventual application as catalysts and electronic conductors.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method of synthesizing metal oxides having a perovskite or perovskite-like crystal structure by high energy milling. More specifically, the high-energy grinding of the mixture of starting powders is sufficient to cause a chemical reaction between the components, thereby directly mechanically synthesizing metal oxides, which have been determined by X-ray diffraction to have perovskite Or perovskite-like nanocrystalline structure. Background of the invention [0002] Mixed metal oxides are generally crystalline compounds that are classified according to the general formula and properties of certain structural types of naturally occurring minerals. Perovskite is a well-known mixed metal oxide. The general formula of perovskite is ABO 3 , where A and B represent cations. Each of A and B can exist in the form of more than one cation. [0003] Another class of metal oxides includes "perovskite-like" materials, which...
