We investigated the nitridation of reduced BaTiO3, BaTiO2.60H0.08, corresponding to an oxyhydride with a large concentration of O defects (>10%). The material is readily nitrided under flowing N2 gas at temperatures between 400 and 450 °C to yield oxynitrides BaTiO2.6Nx (x = 0.2−0.22) with a slightly tetragonally distorted perovskite structure, a ≈ 4.01 and c ≈ 4.02 Å, and Ti partially remaining in the oxidation state III. The tetragonal structure was confirmed from Raman spectroscopy. 14N MAS NMR spectroscopy shows a single resonance at 270 ppm, which is typical for perovskite transition metal oxynitrides. However, largely different signal intensity for materials with very similar N content suggests N/O/vacancy ordering when prolonging nitridation times to hours. Diffuse reflectance UV-VIS spectroscopy shows a reduction of the intrinsic band gap to 2.4–2.45 eV compared to BaTiO3 (~3.2 eV). Mott-Schottky measurements confirm n-type conductivity and reveal a slight negative shift of the conduction band edge from –0.59 V (BaTiO3) to ~–0.65 eV.

Zirconium doping dramatically facilitates O vacancy formation in ceria nanoparticles not only at the surface but also in four-coordinated inner O positions, which enhances O mobility. In mixed nanoparticles zirconium tends to occupy inner sites.

The effect of Nb doping on the formation and diffusion of O vacancies and interstitial Ti in rutile TiO2 are studied by the use of ab initio density-functional calculations. Our calculation showed that the activation energy for the diffusion of O vacancy with Nb doping is higher than that of pure. That owing to suppressive effect of Nb doping on the formation of O vacancy. Different from the effect of Nb doping on O vacancy, both of the formation energy and migration barrier of interstitial Ti increase with the Nb doping. Our calculated results may be one of the reasons why Nb doping can improve oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl.

Atomic hydrogen obtained from dissociative chemisorption of molecular H2 on Pt particles deposited on the surface of YBa2Cu3O7 reacts with the oxide in producing O vacancies and intercalating H at 82 °C under a H2 pressure of about 400 Torr. An induction period which extends over 1 h is observed as long as the concentration in O vacancies is below 0.1. Above this approximate limit the reaction proceeds quickly until about 1 mol H2 has been consumed. It then slows down progressively, but it is not completed even after 27 h of reaction and ∼1.4 H2 consumed, under these experimental conditions. The enthalpy for the creation of the O vacancy is 143 kcal/g mol O, while the H intercalation enthalpy is −57.5 kcal/g mol H. It appears that the reaction of molecular H2 over YBa2Cu3O7 not coated with Pt proceeds similarly, but the rate is nearly one order of magnitude slower, under identical conditions. The stoichiometry of the reaction agrees with the earlier suggestion that O1 is a labile oxygen which can be replaced by intercalated H. This site and the interstitial vacant sites in the copper chains square plane would be the first ones to be occupied by intercalated H.
