Abstract

The oxygen desorption kinetics of the YBa2Cu3O7‐δ powders generated by an aerosol route was investigated and compared to that of solid state reacted powders. The oxygen content of the aerosol sample was determined using a thermogravimetric analyzer (at 990 C) and wet chemical methods, and δ was calculated to be ‐0.1. The activation energy and pre‐exponential factor were determined by regression for two peaks at 540 C and 850 C. Other activation parameters were also calculated. The calculated values of these parameters for aerosol samples and those reported for solid state reacted powders are in good agreement.
