Zusammenfassung:Perovskite-type strontium stannate, SrSnO 3 , is of technological interest because of its potential applications. In the present work, Fe(III)-doped SrSnO 3 perovskites were synthesized using Sn metal and the polymeric precursor method, derived from the Pechini method. Thermogravimetric evaluations in N 2 and O 2 atmospheres were performed to evaluate the possible formation of oxygen vacancies resulting from Fe(III) doping. The X-ray diffraction patterns showed the formation of an orthorhombic structure with high crystallinity after calcination at 1,073 K. The first thermal analysis, in a N 2 atmosphere, led to the partial elimination of strontium carbonate and hydroxyl groups, while the thermal analysis in an O 2 atmosphere led to an increase in the mass, indicating O 2 adsorption on the lattice, which could be related to the presence of Fe(III) and Fe(IV) in the perovskite structure. Moreover, the thermal analysis changed the symmetry of the iron-doped perovskites.
