Abstract:
The aims of this research were to monitor the phase composition, colour properties, and
morphology of perovskite pigments SrSnO3 in which a part of tin(IV) atoms have been
substituted by manganese(IV). The composition of the perovskite powders prepared is
described by general formula SrSn1-xMnxO3, where x = 0.1–0.5. Pigments were prepared
by solid state reaction at calcining temperature in a range of 1200–1500 °C. The
powders of interest have been studied with respect to their use in ceramic industry as
the inorganic pigment(s).
