Abstract
Abstract This work provides data on strategies for single GdSrFeO4 phase solid state synthesis. Earlier works have shown that under the solid-state synthesis conditions, the GdSrFeO4 preparation is hampered by the formation of non-target product: Gd2SrFe2O7. This work approach led to the solid-phase synthesis GdSrFeO4 scheme change. GdSrFeO4 was characterized by X-Ray, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, dilatometry and complex thermal analysis methods. GdSrFeO4 is stable in the wide range of studied temperatures 40–1,400°C in air. The sintering start temperature was determined to be 985°C. GdSrFeO4 has a thermal expansion coefficient of 30 × 10−6 K−1. The thermal stability is excellent for further investigation and potential for application of the materials as SOFC, for example. The study of catalytic stability of the obtained GdSrFeO4 is to be a subject of future work as well.
