Coprecipitation combined with high temperature melting,a brand new powder preparation technique derived from the conventional chemical coprecipitation,was applied to the synthesis of lanthanum copper oxides.Processes were perfomed with the corresponding metal chloride and sodium hydroxide in the ethanol solution.In the study,we investigated the role of NaCl as well as the influence of copper-substituted and lanthanum- substituted on electric and magnetic properties of La2CuO4 specimens. It was found in this exploration that owing to fused salts the temperature of the formation of lanthanum copper oxides was decreased to 600oC upon calcining and the other effects on the morphology and crystalline structural phases of La2CuO4 powders were proved.The content of NaCl could be controlle by the ratio [OH-]/[Mn+] in this system.While the above value was greater than 3.33,discrete plate-like particles with the K2NiF4 structure of tetragonal phase were obtained. Howere the above value was smaller than 2.00,uniform sphereical ones with orthorhombic distortion phase could be prepared.
