Thermodynamic stability, structural and electrical characterization of mixed ionic and electronic conductor La2Mo2O8.96

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique in controlled oxygen partial pressure ( p O 2 ) atmospheres has been used to obtain equilibrium oxygen content data as a function of p O 2 on the La 2 Mo 2 O 9− δ system resulting from the partial reduction of fast oxide-ion conductor La 2 Mo 2 O 9 (LM).

Description
Summary:Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique in controlled oxygen partial pressure ( p O 2 ) atmospheres has been used to obtain equilibrium oxygen content data as a function of p O 2 on the La 2 Mo 2 O 9− δ system resulting from the partial reduction of fast oxide-ion conductor La 2 Mo 2 O 9 (LM). Thermodynamic conditions for stabilization of crystalline La 7 Mo 7 O 30 and amorphous La 2 Mo 2 O 7− y at 718 °C have been determined and discussed. At 608 °C, the compound reported for the first time La 2 Mo 2 O 8.96 (LM896) has been found. The crystalline form and transition temperature in LM896 have been identified by X-ray diffraction at room temperature (XRD) and at controlled temperature. Conductivity curves obtained by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as a function of temperature for both LM and LM896 have been compared. The results indicate that LM896 is a mixed ionic and electronic conductor (MIEC). We report mixed electronic and ionic conductivity in the stable La 2 Mo 2 O 8.96 compound.
