Abstract: | The values of ΔG(O2), ΔH(O2), and ΔS(O2) have been determined from electrochemical cell measurements, within the whole homogeneity range of WO3?x, between 700 and 900°C. The samples have been previously prepared by equilibration of WO3 pellets with COCO2 mixtures and their composition has been determined by thermogravimetry. A single phase has been found between WO3 and WO2.9760. The results may be understood by considering a structure involving point defects, singly ionized oxygen vacancies V·O between WO3 and WO2.9880. For larger departure from stoichiometry, the variations of ΔH(O2) and ΔS(O2) suggest the formation of more complex defects. The enthalpy of formation of V·O has been calculated: 78 kcal · mole?1. |
