The present invention discloses a
palladium-doped
lanthanum ferrite powder preparation method, which comprises: selecting raw materials such as
lanthanum nitrate, iron
nitrate,
palladium nitrate,
citric acid and
polyethylene glycol; and respectively weighing
lanthanum nitrate, iron nitrate and
palladium nitrate according to a ratio of mol(La)<3+> to mol(Fe)<3+> to mol(Pd)<2+> of 1:(1-x):x, adopting deionized water to respectively dissolve, mixing the obtained three solutions, adding
citric acid and
polyethylene glycol, uniformly mixing to obtain a transparent
sol, evaporating water from the
sol to obtain a wet gel,
drying the wet gel to obtain precursor dry gel
powder, and calcining the precursor dry gel
powder to obtain the palladium-doped lanthanum
ferrite powder, wherein x is 0.05-0.1, the
molar amount of the added
citric acid is 1.0-1.5 times the total
molar amount of the
lanthanum nitrate, the iron nitrate and the
palladium nitrate, and the weight of the added
polyethylene glycol is 0-0.3 time the weight of the citric acid. The method has advantages of low cost, market prospects, high product sample purity, good uniformity and the like.
