Abstract

In the present work, Sr-doped lanthanum manganite is successfully synthesized using sol–gel route. Obtained compounds are annealed at 600 and 800 °C in the aim to modify the nanoparticles size. Structural, morphological, and electrical properties are characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and impedance spectroscopy technique, respectively. For both samples, a metal–semiconductor transition is observed. It is noticed that the particle size increase leads to an increase in the transition temperature. According to the conductivity spectra, the dispersive frequency region reveals the coexistence of hop** and tunneling process models. The frequency dependence of the disorder and the hop** energies explains the charge carriers dynamics. A close resemblance between the calculated activation energies coming from the hop** frequency and the relaxation time is observed. This resemblance establishes that the conduction and the relaxation processes are attributed to the same origin. Besides, the scaling representation discloses the validity of the time–temperature superposition principle presenting the universality of the conductivity response. The temperature and the frequency dependence of the conduction mechanism are confirmed by the Summerfield scaling model. Such interesting phenomena are determined for the bigger nanoparticles system. In fact, the particle size increase provokes the increase in the electrical conductivity which is confirmed by the activation energy decrease. This result is investigated in terms of core–shell model. Therefore, the particle growth allows improving the performance of the Solid Oxide Fuel Cells using the mixed-valence Sr-doped lanthanum manganite as an electrode.
