Mixed conductivity, Mossbauer spectra and thermal expansion of (La,Sr)(Fe,Ni)O3-delta perovskites

resumo

The incorporation of Sr2+ in perovskite-type La1-ySryFe1-xNixO3-delta increases oxygen deficiency and ionic transport at elevated temperatures, but leads to a lower thermodynamic stability as reflected by narrowing the solid-solution domain at 1373 K down to x approximate to 0.25 at y = 0.10 and x approximate to 0.12 at y = 0.20 in air. The average thermal expansion coefficients of La1-ySryFe1-xNixO3-delta (x = 0.1-0.4, y = 0.1-0.2) ceramics vary in the ranges (12.4-13.4)x 10(-6) K-1 at 700-1150 K and(14.2-18.0) x 10(-6) K-1 at 1150-1370 K, rising with strontium and nickel contents. These additives lower also the temperature of orthorhombic -> rhombohedral phase transition visible in the dilatometric curves, promote hole delocalization, increase total conductivity and decrease Seebeck coefficient Studied in the oxygen partial pressure range from 10(-5) to 0.4 atm at 973-1223 K. The steady-state oxygen permeation fluxes through single-phase La1-ySryFe1-xNixO3-delta (x = 0.1-0.2. y = 0.1-0.2) membranes, with an activation energy of 206-235 kJ/mol, are determined by both surface-exchange and bulk ionic conduction limited by the oxygen-vacancy concentration. Doping with nickel has a weak negative effect on the oxygen transport, probably due to defect cluster formation involving the vacancies and Ni2+. On the contrary, at low temperatures when (La,Sr)(Fe,Ni)O3-delta becomes almost oxygen-stoichiometric in air, the Mossbauer spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis showed that the average oxidation state of nickel is higher than +3, similar to iron cations.
