phases with high concentrations of structural oxygen vacancies are high-temperature mixed oxygen–hydrogen ionic conductors whose conduction is sensitive to the presence of water vapor up to 900°C. According to a thermogravimetric study, the amount of water incorporated into the complex-oxide matrix is proportional to the concentration of structural oxygen vacancies. The process of water incorporation is considered in terms of crystalline and chemical properties of the structure. The oxygen-deficient perovskites containing coordination-unsaturated metalatoms can reconstruct their coordination polyhedron by adding water molecules, with subsequent partial dissociation of water to hydroxyl groups. The proposed mechanism explains different states of water in the oxide and a two-stage nature of its removal: water molecules coordinating the metal atom and those surrounding OH–leave the core in the first and second stages, respectively. |
