Oxidation-reduction behavior of undoped and Sr-doped LaMnO sub 3 nonstoichiometry and defect structure

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (USA)

Undoped and Sr-doped LaMnO{sub 3} showed reversible oxidation-reduction behavior. These perovskites can be excess, stoichiometric or deficient in oxygen content depending on the specific conditions. Under very reducing conditions decomposition into new phases occurs. Phase stabilities for these oxides were determined. The results showed that Sr doping caused the LaMnO{sub 3} to dissociate at higher oxygen activities than those necessary for undoped LaMnO{sub 3}. Defects models are proposed to interpret the thermogravimetric results in which metal vacancies are assumed for the oxygen excess condition and oxygen vacancies are assumed for the oxygen deficient condition. Thermodynamic properties were calculated which support the model.
