| description | Nanoparticles are reported to have magnetic and electrical properties. In this context, materials with nanoparticle size are synthesized using various methods, such as sol–gel, solid state, and co-precipitation methods. The sol–gel method offers superior control over particle growth, allowing for the synthesis of nanoparticles smaller than those used in conventional solid-state methods. Therefore, this research aims to synthesize electron-doped superconducting nanoparticles Eu1.86Ce0.14CuO4+α‒δ (ECCO) using the sol–gel method with sintering temperatures ranging from 800 to 1050 °C. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and diffraction (XRD) confirmed the stoichiometric consistency and the presence of T crystal structure in all samples, respectively. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) reported a direct correlation between sintering temperature and particle size of 131–172 nm. The result shows that sintering temperature plays a crucial role in controlling nanoparticle size, offering insights for optimizing the properties of electron-doped superconductors. |
