Abstract
Cesium zirconate and cesium thorate were prepared by sol-gel method following citrate-nitrate route. The compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis and simultaneous TG-DTA. The methods of preparation of Cs2ZrO3 and Cs2ThO3 reported in literature involve difficult steps and require stringent experimental conditions for obtaining the compounds. In this work we report an easier method for the preparation of these compounds at relatively low temperature.
