Abstract :
Cuspidine-type solid oxides having the compositions La4(Ti2O8)O2 and La4(Ti1.5Al0.5O8-δ)O2 were synthesized using a modified Pechini method at much lower temperature than the one corresponding to the state of the art ceramic method. Their thermal behaviour was evaluated using TG/DSC techniques. Reduction-oxidation processes were evidenced on both heating and cooling stages, their amplitude depending on gas atmosphere and sample composition.
