摘要

Lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO3) powders were synthesized via a mechanically induced molten salt method followed by heat treatment, using aluminum/lanthanum nitrates as raw materials and NaOH as a precipitant. XRD and SEM results show that the heat treatment temperature critically affects phase formation and morphology. The LaAlO3 phase starts to form at 500 °C, and pure-phase powder is obtained at 700 °C, where the morphology changes from snowflake-like to short columnar. Temperatures above 700 °C reduce the LaAlO3 content. NaOH enhances precursor dispersion, creates a local alkaline environment, lowers the formation temperature, and enables pure-phase LaAlO3 at relatively low temperatures. The process is simple, energy-efficient, and allows controllable grain morphology.
