Abstract
Crystalline state of lanthanum chromites with silver as a dopant has been studied by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy reveals microscopic properties of grain boundaries. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to analyze surface states with atomic ratio of La, Cr, O and Ag as a dopant. LaCrO3 shows mixed valence states of chromium while the silver doped samples exhibit differences in chromium concentration with the oxidation of Cr3+ to Cr6+ in presence of chromium nitrate as a precursor salt. Trivalent stable state of chromium is observed for samples synthesized by chromic acetate as a precursor salt.
