High temperature X-ray diffraction measurements were performed under dry and wet atmospheres to investigate phase behavior of BaCe{sub 0.8}Y{sub 0.2}O{sub 3−δ} (BCY20). In the temperature range of 30–400 °C, BCY20 was identified to be rhombohedral and monoclinic structures in dry and wet atmospheres, respectively. Larger lattice volumes were obtained in a wet atmosphere due to a chemical expansion induced by water incorporation. A gradual change in diffraction peak shape due to a phase transformation from rhombohedral to monoclinic was observed at 300 °C when moisture was introduced into the atmosphere. These results indicated clearly the dependence of phase behavior of BCY20 on partial pressure of water vapor in atmosphere. - Graphical abstract: A BaCe{sub 0.8}Y{sub 0.2}O{sub 3−δ} rhombohedral phase transited to a monoclinic phase at 300 °C when moisture was introduced into the atmosphere.
