Preparation of YBa2Cu3O6 + x by a Formic Acid Method

Otamiri, JC and Andersson, Arne LU (1990) In Journal of Materials Research 5(7). p.1388-1391
Abstract
Synthesis of YBa2Cu3O6+x from formic acid solutions of stoichiometric amounts of the initial materials has been investigated in the temperature range 750–950°C. The reaction is strongly influenced by the concentration of formic acid. Dilute solutions favor synthesis of purer samples under moderate conditions of temperature and sintering time. At lower temperature the same effect can be achieved if sintering time is longer, while at higher temperature, multiple grinding and heating at very short intervals are necessary to avoid formation of Y2BaCuO5. The observed effect of HCOOH concentration is explained by the different mechanisms involved in the decomposition of the formates obtained.
