Electroless deposition of LaMnO[sub 3] precursors on YSZ substrate from a solution containing Mn[sup 2+], La[sup 3+], and an oxidizing agent was investigated. Peroxydisulfate was used as the oxidizing agent. Pretreatment of the substrate, sensitization in a solution of SnCl[sub 2], and activation in a solution of PdCl[sub 2] were necessary for deposition of the oxide film. The La/Mn atomic ratio in the oxide film increased with increases in the [La[sup 3+]]/[Mn[sup 2+]] ratio and in the pH of the solution. The additives CH[sub 3]COONa and AgNO[sub 3] in the solution improved the incorporation of La[sup 3+] ion into the oxide film during the electroless deposition and the adhesion of the as-deposited oxide film on YSZ. It was judged from the cyclic voltammetry of the as-deposited oxide film and from XPS, IR and XRD measurements that the as-deposited oxide film on YSZ was amorphous hydrous MnO[sub 2] which contained La[sup 3+] ions by specific adsorption. La[sup 3+] ions existed in a state similar to that in La[sub 2]O[sub 3], according to an XPS measurement. La[sub 1[minus]x]MnO[sub 3] perovskite film (x = 0.85, 0.96) was prepared by heat treatment of the deposited oxide film at 800[degrees]C for 5 hr. The mechanism of the electroless deposition of the LaMnO[sub 3] precursor is discussed. 12 refs., 9 figs.
