The study and development of novel lanthanum chromite based compositions. It has started from the study of strontium doped lanthanum chromite, which will be modified by co-doping with different atoms at various doping levels (species not reported in the literature). The obtaining of the materials will be generated by different synthesis approaches to compare physical properties, yields, and homogeneity. Compositions will be used in high-temperature sensor manufacture. All electroceramic materials obtained will be characterized, and their properties such as electrical conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, seebeck coefficient, among others, will be studied to determine their performance and possible use in real-life applications.
