Varying glycine to nitrate ratio in the initial solution the powders based on nanocrystalline LaFeO3 were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis. The powders were studied by Xray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, adsorption analysis and helium pycnometry. The average crystallite size of the synthesized LaFeO3 nanocrystals ranged from 182 to 859 nm, and the specific surface area of the nanopowders based on them ranged from 8 to 33 m2/g. Based on the results, the influence of redox composition of the reaction solution on the nature of the combustion processes, as well as the composition, structure and properties of LaFeO3 nanocrystals were analyzed. Here, it was shown, that the nanopowders have specific microstructure in terms of monocrystalline nanoscale layers of lanthanum orthoferrite, therefore it is allowed to consider them as a promising base for catalytically and magnetically functional materials.
