Bi2n+4MonO6(n+1) with n=3, 4, 5, 6: A new series of low-temperature stable phases in the mBi2O3 - MoO3 system (1.0<m<1.7): Structural relationships and conductor properties

Four low-temperature phases with compositions Bi₁₀Mo₃O₂₄, Bi₆Mo₂O₁₅, Bi₁₄Mo₅O₃₆ and Bi₈Mo₃O₂₁ have been prepared by the n-butylamine wet synthesis method. They have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, mainly by selected area electron diffraction. The four phases present a close structural relationship and a common basic fluorite-type structure and are members of a homologous series of phases with general formula Bi_2n+4Mo_nO_6(n+1), being n=3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively. The matrices relating their superstructures and the basic fluorite type unit cell are given, as well as a general one for the whole series. The conductor behavior of these phases is characterized by impedance spectroscopy being all these materials very good ionic conductors.

Defect chemistry of grain boundaries in proton-conducting solid oxides

The defect chemistry of charged grain boundaries in an acceptor-doped oxide in equilibrium with water vapour is examined theoretically. The basis of the theoretical approach is that the formation of charged grain boundaries and attendant space-charge zones is governed by differences in the standard chemical potentials of oxygen vacancies and hydroxide ions between bulk and grain-boundary core, that is, by the thermodynamic driving energies for defect redistribution. A one-dimensional continuum treatment is used to predict the space-charge potential and defect concentrations in the grain-boundary core as a function of water partial pressure, temperature and acceptor dopant concentration for various values of the two thermodynamic driving energies. The results are discussed with respect to experimental data in the literature for acceptor-doped perovskite oxides (e.g. BaZrO₃) and fluorite oxides (e.g. CeO₂).

CO催化氧化中氧化铜对CeO2的调变作用

Preparation and structural study from neutron diffraction data of Pr5Mo3O16

The title compound has been prepared as polycrystalline powder by thermal treatments of mixtures of Pr₆O₁₁ and MoO₂ in air. In the literature, an oxide with a composition Pr₂MoO₆ has been formerly described to present interesting catalytic properties, but its true stoichiometry and crystal structure are reported here for the first time. It is cubic, isostructural with CdTm₄Mo₃O₁₆ (space group Pn-3n, Z=8), with a=11.0897(1) Å. The structure contains MoO₄ tetrahedral units, with Mo-O distances of 1.788(2) Å, fully long-range ordered with PrO₈ polyhedra; in fact it can be considered as a superstructure of fluorite (M₈O₁₆), containing 32 MO₂ fluorite formulae per unit cell, with a lattice parameter related to that of cubic fluorite (a_f=5.5 Å) as a≈2a_f. A bond valence study indicates that Mo exhibits a mixed oxidation state between 5+ and 6+ (perhaps accounting for the excellent catalytic properties). One kind of Pr atoms is trivalent whereas the second presents a mixed Pr³⁺-Pr⁴⁺ oxidation state. The similarity of the XRD pattern with that published for Ce₂MoO₆ suggests that this compound also belongs to the same structural type, with an actual stoichiometry Ce₅Mo₃O₁₆.     

O MAS NMR study of the oxygen local environments in the anionic conductors Y2(B1−xB′x)2O7(B, B′=Sn, Ti, Zr)

The local environments for oxygen in yttrium-containing pyrochlores and fluorites, Y₂(B_1−xB′_x)₂O₇ (B=Ti, B′=Sn, Zr) are investigated by using solid state ¹⁷O MAS NMR spectroscopy. The quadrupolar coupling constants of the nucleus, ¹⁷O are sufficiently small for these ionic oxides, that high-resolution spectra are obtained from the MAS spectra. Different oxygen NMR resonances are observed due to local environments with differing numbers of metal cations (Y³⁺, Sn⁴⁺, Ti⁴⁺ and Zr⁴⁺), allowing the numbers of different local environments to be quantified and cation mixing to be investigated. Evidence for pyrochlore-like local ordering is detected for Y₂Zr₂O₇, which nominally adopts the fluorite structure.     

Study of the fluorite–pyrochlore–fluorite phase transitions in Ln<Subscript>2</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>7</Subscript> (Ln=Lu,Yb, Tm)

The ordering processes in Ln₂Ti₂O₇ (Ln=Lu, Yb, Tm) are studied by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, infrared absorption (IR) spectroscopy, and electrical conductivity measurements. The coprecipitation method followed by freeze-drying was used for Ln₂Ti₂O₇ synthesis. The region of low-temperature fluorite phase existence is 600 °C<T<740 °C. The low-temperature fluorite–pyrochlore phase transition in Ln₂Ti₂O₇ takes place at ~740–800 °C. Ln₂Ti₂O₇ (Ln=Lu, Yb, Tm) have the structure of disordered pyrochlore with antisite Ln–Ti defects at 800 °C<T<1,100 °C.The high-temperature pyrochlore–fluorite transformation takes place in Tm₂Ti₂O₇, Yb₂Ti₂O₇, and Lu₂Ti₂O₇ in air at T>1,600 °C. The conductivity values are 5·10^–3 S/cm for Tm₂Ti₂O₇, 6·10^–3 S/cm for Yb₂Ti₂O₇, and 10^–2 S/cm for Lu₂Ti₂O₇ at 740 °C. This order–disorder transition leads to a 2 orders of magnitude conductivity growth and a 10–30 times permittivity increase in Ln₂Ti₂O₇ samples obtained at 1,700 °C.Presented at the OSSEP Workshop Ionic and Mixed Conductors: Methods and Processes, Aveiro, Portugal, 10–12 April 2003
