The Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ(Bi-2212) superconducting powders were synthesized by Pechini method. The samples were prepared with metal nitrates as starting materials, ethylene diamine tetracetic acid (EDTA) as chelating agent and ethylene glycol as cross-linking agent. The effect of EDTA amount, ethylene glycol amount, oil bath temperature and time during gel processes on the crystallnity and superconductivity of Bi-2212 powders were investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to investigate the phase purity and crystallnity. The resistance measurements were carried out with a conventional four-probe method. The results showed that phase purity is slightly affected by different gel processes. But the crystallnity and electrical conductivity of Bi-2212 phase changes obviously as shown by the XRD patterns and R-T curves. The difference of its critical transition temperature Tc,0 is 7.3 K.
