Modernized Synthesis Technique of PrNiO-Based Complex Oxides Using Low-Temperature Salt Melts.

Phases based on layered lanthanide nickelates are considered as promising electrode materials for various electrochemical devices, including solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis cells. While such compounds may be prepared using either solid state or solution-assisted syntheses, each of these approaches entails certain problems. In the present work, we propose a novel approach for the simple and straightforward preparation of PrNiO-based materials.
