Defect Chemistry of Ternary Oxides
Abstract
The defect chemistry of oxides has been studied for several decades, with significant success on binary compounds, such as zirconia (ZrO2) and ceria (CeO2) based materials. the ternary compounds (ABO3), also known as the perovskite family of oxides, have been extensively studied from the early 1950s, particularly on BaTiO3, LaCrO3, LaMnO3, LaFeO3 and LaCoO3. Perovskite-type oxides are of great interest in energy conversion devices. This family of oxides has been tailored to be used as dielectrics, mixed ionic and electronic conductors superionic conductors and superconductors. Defect chemistry is the most important technique involved in gaining an understanding of the mass and charge transfer properties because it determines the defect type, density, defect associations, and carrier mobility. Understanding the defect chemistry in these systems allows searching for the novel materials used in fossil energy conversion systems, which requires a sufficient vacancy density, a mixed ionic and electronic conductivity, catalytic activity, and thermodynamic stability.
