A determination of the oxygen non-stoichiometry of the oxygen storage material YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ}
The A-site ordered double-perovskite oxide, YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ}, has been of recent interest for possible application as an oxygen storage material. In the present study, the oxygen non-stoichiometry of YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ} has been determined as a function of pO{sub 2} at 650, 700 and 750 °C by Coulometric titration at near-equilibrium conditions. The results confirm that this perovskite oxide has three distinct phases on oxidation/reduction with δ≈0, 0.5 and 1. The stabilities of the YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ} phases span a wide range of oxygen partial pressures (∼10{sup −20}≤pO{sub 2}(atm)≤∼1 ) depending on temperature. The phases interconvert at higher pO{sub 2} values at higher temperatures. The partial molar free energies (Δμ{sub O}) corresponding to the oxidation of YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5} to YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5.5} and of YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5.5} to YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub ∼6} were determined. The value of Δμ{sub O} in both oxidation steps becomes less negative with increasing temperature. At some T and pO{sub 2} conditions, YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ} is unstable with respect to decomposition to BaMnO{sub 3−δ} and YMnO{sub 3}. This instability is anticipated from the previous studies of the synthesis of YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ} but is more apparent in the present experiments which are necessarily slow in order to achieve equilibrium with respect to the oxygen content. - Highlights: • Determination of the oxygen non-stoichiometry of YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ} as a function of pO{sub 2} and T. • Establishments of pO{sub 2} ranges of stability of O{sub 5} and O{sub 5.5} at 650 °C, 700 °C and 750 °C. • Discovery of the kinetic instability of YBaMn{sub 2}O{sub 5+δ} with respect to decomposition to BaMnO{sub 3}−{sub x} and YMnO{sub 3}. • Evaluation of the thermodynamics of the oxidation of YBaMnO{sub 5}.
