The oxygen permeation properties of Sr{sub 4}Fe{sub 6{minus}x}Co{sub x}O{sub 13} have been studied for 0 {le} x {le} 1.8. Samples with x > 1.5 consist of the perovskite phase SrFe{sub 1{minus}x}Co{sub x}O{sub 3{minus}{delta}} and the spinel phase Co{sub 3{minus}x}Fe{sub x}O{sub 4} in addition to the Sr{sub 4}Fe{sub 6}O{sub 13}-type intergrowth phase. The total conductivity and the oxygen flux increase with increasing x. Although the oxygen flux in the undoped Sr{sub 4}Fe{sub 6}O{sub 13} remains constant, that in the x {ge} 1.5 samples decreases upon cycling the permeation measurements. The decrease in oxygen flux on cycling is attributed to oxygen loss and changes in phase compositions at low oxygen partial pressures as indicated by thermogravimetric analysis.
