Abstract
A new chemical route to synthesize nanostructured lead ruthenium
pyrochlore (Pb2Ru2O6.5) powders was developed.
The synthesis was performed starting from a metal nitrate
aqueous solution and N, N, N′, N′ tetramethylethylendiamine
(TMEDA). The amine, which is a mild basic chelating agent,
was able to control the simultaneous precipitation of lead
and ruthenium oxo/hydroxides. For the sake of comparison,
Pb2Ru2O6.5 powders were prepared using the more conventional
polymeric precursor method. The new method was effective for
the synthesis of nanostructured Pb2Ru2O6.5 powders already
stable at 400°C and up to 1000°C.
