The citrate-nitrate gel combustion route was used to prepare SrFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}(s), Sr{sub 2}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 5}(s) and Sr{sub 3}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 6}(s) powders and the compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Different solid-state electrochemical cells were used for the measurement of emf as a function of temperature from 970 to 1151K. The standard molar Gibbs energies of formation of these ternary oxides were calculated as a function of temperature from the emf data and are represented as {delta}{sub f}G{sub m}{sup o} (SrFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}, s, T)/kJmol{sup -1} (+/-1.7)=-1494.8+0.3754(T/K) (970=<T/K=<1151). {delta}{sub f}G{sub m}{sup o} (Sr{sub 2}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 5}, s, T)/kJmol{sup -1} (+/-3.0)=-2119.3+0.4461(T/K) (970=<T/K=<1149). {delta}{sub f}G{sub m}{sup o} (Sr{sub 3}Fe{sub 2}O{sub 6}, s, T)/kJmol{sup -1} (+/-7.3)=-2719.8+0.4974(T/K) (969=<T/K=<1150). Standard molar heat capacities of these ternary oxides were determined from 310 to 820K using a heat flux type differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Based on second law analysis and using the thermodynamic database FactSage software, thermodynamic functions such as {delta}{sub f}H{sup o}(298.15K), S{sup o}(298.15K) S{sup o}(T), C{sub p}{sup o}(T), H{sup o}(T), {l_brace}H{sup o}(T)-H{sup o}(298.15K){r_brace}, G{sup o}(T), free energy function (fef), {delta}{sub f}H{sup o}(T) and {delta}{sub f}G{sup o}(T) for these ternary oxides were also calculated from 298 to 1000K.
