Structure and water uptake in BaLnCo2O6−δ (Ln =La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy)

The structure of BaLnCoO (Ln =La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy) was studied by the means of synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), while water uptake properties were analysed with the use of thermogravimetry (TG) and water...

spelling Structure and water uptake in BaLnCo2O6−δ (Ln =La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy)Wachowski, S.L.Szpunar, I.Sørby, Magnus H.Mielewczyk-Gry¿, ABalaguer, MaríaGhica, C.Istrate, M.C.Gazda, M.Gunnæs, A.E.Serra Alfaro, José ManuelNorby, TrulsStrandbakke, R.The structure of BaLnCoO (Ln =La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy) was studied by the means of synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), while water uptake properties were analysed with the use of thermogravimetry (TG) and water adsorption isotherms. The structure refinement revealed that the dominant phase in all compositions was orthorhombic with an ordering of the A-site cations along the c-axis and ordering of oxygen vacancies along the b-axis, which was also directly evidenced by TEM. It was shown that both unit cell volume and average Co-oxidation state at room temperature decrease linearly with decreasing Ln radius. TG water uptake experiments in humidified N–O gas mixture at 300 °C revealed that among all compositions, only BaLaCoO and BaGdCoO exhibit significant water uptake. Surface water adsorption studies showed that the α, a normalised parameter reflecting the surface hydrophilicity, mostly independently of Ln radius was close to 0.5, which means that the surface is neither hydrophobic nor hydrophilic. The results indicated that water uptake observed at 300 °C is a bulk process, which cannot be described by standard hydration/hydrogenation reaction and it is related to the layered structure of the perovskite lattice and characteristic to La or Gd being present in the lattice.The research has been supported by the National Science Centre Poland (2016/22/Z/ST5/00691), the Spanish Government (PCIN-2017-125), and the Research Council of Norway (Grant nᵒ 272797 “GoPHy MiCO”) through the M-ERA.NET Joint Call 2016.
