The strongly defective double perovskite Sr11Mo4O23: crystal structure in relation to ionic conductivity

Structural origin of the enhanced ionic conductivity upon Nb doping in Sr11Mo4O23 defective double perovskite.

We report a substantial enhancement of the oxide-ion conductivity in Sr11Mo4O23 achieved by Nb doping the Mo sites. This series responds to the formula: Sr11Mo4-xNbxO23-δ (with x = 0.0, 0.5 and 1.0). The original structure can be related to the conventional double perovskite; however, it presents a broken corner sharing connectivity of the octahedral framework, hence leading to a complex and hi...

Ag13I4(AsO4)3: Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Ionic Conductivity

Ruby-red single crystals of Ag13I4(AsO4)3 were prepared for the first time by reacting a stoichiometric mixture of Ag2O, AgI and As2O3 at elevated oxygen pressure of 120 MPa and at a temperature of 350 ◦C. The polyhedral crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P21/m with a = 9.247(1), b = 7.152(1), c = 17.674(2) Å, β = 91.492(2)◦, and Z = 2. The structure is fully ordered and was solved b...

Li-rich anti-perovskite Li3OCl films with enhanced ionic conductivity.

Anti-perovskite solid electrolyte films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition, and their room-temperature ionic conductivity can be improved by more than an order of magnitude in comparison with its bulk counterpart. The cyclability of Li3OCl films in contact with lithium was evaluated using a Li/Li3OCl/Li symmetric cell, showing self-stabilization during cycling test.

Ionic conductivity of perovskite LaCoO3 measured by oxygen permeation technique

A novel perovskite-like Ta-bronze KTa1+zO3: preparation, stoichiometry, conductivity and crystal structure studies.

A new cubic Ta-bronze (1) KTa(1+z)(+(5-delta))O(3) [z approximately 0.107 (3)] was obtained on a cathode by molten salt electrolysis of the system K(2)TaOF(5)-K(3)TaO(2)F(4)-(KF + NaF + LiF)(eutectic). Black, metallic cubic crystals of (1) are formed together with tetragonal beta-Ta. The perovskite-like crystal structure of (1) [a = 4.005 (1) A, space group Pm3m] was refined with anharmonic dis...
