La1-xSrxCrO3 powders were synthesized by a sol-gel method and sintered at a low temperature. The powders and sintered pellets were characterized by XRD, TEM, DSC and SEM. It is found that the mean particle size is below 50nm. The powder with x=0 and 0.1 of single phase of La1-xSrxCrO3, and another phase SrCrO4 appears with x=0.3. Lattice distorts and lattice parameters of lanthanum chromite decrease with increasing Sr content. The sintering process of lanthanum chromite can be divided into two stages: a slow exothermic effect below 1200 degrees C and a quick exothermic effect near 1350 degrees C, corresponding to the primary and intermediate sintering stage, respectively. The relative density of the sintered body (x=0.3) after sintering at 1380 degrees C is 91%, according to the procedure derived from the DSC analysis.
