Abstract: La0.8Ca0.2MnO3nanowires were prepared by using a simple sol-gel method with nano-channel alumina(NCA) as template.The effects of two kinds of annealing methods on the structure, morphology of La0.8Ca0.2MnO3nanowires were investigated.The diameter of La0.8Ca0.2MnO3nanowires prepared by ramping the furnace temperature directly to 800℃ with a rate of 10℃/min is larger than that of pores within NCA.While, the diameter of La0.8Ca0.2MnO3nanowires prepared by ramping the furnace temperature to 400 ℃ with a rate of 2 ℃/min and keeping at this temperature for 1h, then ramping to 800 ℃ with a rate of 10 ℃/min and keeping at this temperature for 2h is nearly equivalent to that of pores within NCA.XRDand selected area electron diffraction indicate that the nanowires derived under the two annealing conditions are of monoclinic perovskite structure.It is demonstrated that the La0.8Ca0.2MnO3nanowires with monoclinic perovskite structure can be fabricated at low temperatures by employing a solution route.The method presented in this paper is also feasible for fabricating the nanowires of other mono-component and multi-component oxides.
