A second addition of lmol% of CoO to a pre calcined SnO2-based ceramic doped with 1.0mol% of CoO, 0.05mol% of Nb2O5 and 0.05mol% of Cr2O3 promotes the appearance of a secondary phase, Co2SnO4, besides the SnO2 cassiterite phase, when the ceramic was sintered at 1350°C/2h. This was observed using X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray techniques. Rietv...
