Oxide-based materials are promising candidates for use in high temperature thermoelectric generators. While their thermoelectric performance is inferior to commonly used thermoelectrics, oxides are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. In this study, Cu-based delafossites (CuFeO2), a material class with promising thermoelectric properties at high temperatures, were investigated. This work focuses on the phase stability of CuFeO2 with respect to the temperature and the oxygen partial pressure. For this reason, classical material characterization methods, such as scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, were combined in order to elucidate the phase composition of delafossites at 900 °C at various oxygen partial pressures. The experimentally obtained results are supported by the theoretical calculation of the Ellingham diagram of the copper–oxygen system. In addition, hot-stage X-ray diffraction and long-term annealing tests of CuFeO2 were performed in order to obtain a holistic review of the phase stability of delafossites at high temperatures and varying oxygen partial pressure. The results support the thermoelectric measurements in previous publications and provide a process window for the use of CuFeO2 in thermoelectric generators.

Three kinds of atmospheres (air, highly-pure Ar and ultra highly-pure Ar gas) with different oxygen partial pressures were applied to investigate the tensile properties and creep behavior of SiC fibers such as Hi-NicalonTM and TyrannoTM-SA. These fibers were annealed and crept at elevated temperatures ranging from1273-1773 K in such environments. After annealing at 1773 K, the room temperature tensile strengths of SiC-based fibers decreased with decreasing the oxygen partial pressure and the near stoichiometric fiber TyrannoTM-SA shows excellent strength retention. At temperatures above the 1573 K, the creep resistance of SiC fibers evaluated by bending stress relaxation (BSR) method under high oxygen partial pressure was lower than that of in low oxygen partial pressure. The microstructural features on these fibers were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

AbstractThe effect of oxygen partial pressure on stability of high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system has been investigated using x-ray diffraction, resistivity and a.c. susceptibility measurements. It was found that part of the high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system was transformed into the low-Tc phase (80 K) and insulating phases by heating in the temperature range 600 C to 880°C in O2 of one atmosphere. The original high-Tc phase was restored upon retreatment in a low oxygen partial pressure of 0.1 atmosphere. The reversible superconducting phase transformation is discussed in conjunction with the formation mechanism of the high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system.

The crystallographic data of YBa2Cu3O7−δ, Y2BaCuO5, BaCu2O2, and YBa4Cu3O9 at high temperatures and p(O2)<10 Pa have been derived on the basis of HT-XRD measurements. Whereas Y2BaCuO5 expands nearly isotropically, YBa2Cu3O7−δ and BaCu2O2 show anisotropic expansions. Furthermore, the first decomposition step of the considered compounds at p(O2)<10 Pa was observed. BaCu2O2 melts congruently at T ≍ 1273 K and Y2BaCuO5 decomposes via a peritectic reaction into Y2O3, Y2BaO4 and melts at T ≍ 1323 K. A solid-state reaction into Y2BaCuO5 and BaCu2O2 was indicated for YBa2Cu3O7−δ at T ≍ 1123 K. Because YBa4Cu3O9 becomes unstable at T ≍ 1123 K, this compound cannot be formed by the primary decomposition reaction of YBa2Cu3O7−δ

Alloying with V and Ti elements effectively improves the strength of WMoTaNb refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) at elevated temperatures. However, their effects on the oxidation resistance of WMoTaNb RHEAs are unknown, which is vitally important to their application at high temperatures. In this work, the effect of V and Ti on the oxidation behavior of WMoTaNb RHEA at 1000 °C was investigated using a thermogravimetric system, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The oxidation of all alloys was found to obey a power law passivating oxidation at the early stage. The addition of V aggravates the volatility of V2O5, MoO3 and WO3, and leads to disastrous internal oxidation. The addition of Ti reduces the mass gain in forming the full coverage of passivating scale and prolongs the passivation duration of alloys.

ABSTRACTThe performance of the langasite-based crystal microbalance is limited due to reductions in its resistivity at high temperatures and reduced oxygen partial pressures. In this work, we utilize a recently developed defect model to predict the dependence of the ionic and electronic contributions to the total conductivity of langasite on temperature, oxygen partial pressure and acceptor and donor dopants. These results are used to select the type and concentrations of dopants expected to provide extended operating conditions for langasite-based gas sensors and crystal microbalances.

ABSTRACTIn this work high-temperature X-ray diffraction has been used to investigate thermal and chemical expansion as well as overall phase stability for various cathode materials: Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (BSCF), La0.3Sr0.7CoO3 (LSC37), La0.6Sr0.4CoO3 (LSC64) and La0.6Sr0.4Fe0.8Co0.2O3 (LSCF), as a function of temperature in reducing conditions. When perovskites materials are under a low oxygen partial-pressure condition, the lattice parameter and overall dimension increase. Their chemical expansion has comparable values. From the viewpoint of the stability of these phases, the high-temperature X-ray diffraction results indicate no phase decomposition can be one of the reasons for material failure at the current experimental oxygen partial pressure. LSF is most stable, while LSC and LSCF form oxygen vacancy-ordered phases and then decompose when heated to 1000°C under atmospheres with pO2 as low as 10-5 atm.

In the first part of this study, the oxygen deficiency, ?, in Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3 - ? (BSCF) was measured by means of thermogravimetry as a function of oxygen partial pressure, p(O2), in the range of 1.1?10?6 < p(O2)/% < 41.67 at elevated temperatures ranging 873 ? T/K ? 1073. It was shown that ? becomes more pronounced with increasing T and with decreasing p(O2). The isotherms ? vs. p(O2) were determined. The second part of this study relates to the reaction of CO2 with Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.8O3-? perovskite oxide in the absence and presence of O2 at temperatures ranging from 673 to 973 K also by thermogravimetry. The reactivity of CO2 with BSCF increased with increasing temperature and increasing exposure to CO2. Reaction of CO2 with BSCF was described by a equilibrium reaction isotherms. The results of X-ray diffractometry evidenced that the exposure to CO2 leads to the formation of carbonates.

ABSTRACTThe V2O5-MoO3 mixtures offer a whole range of materials where properties can be adjusted by simple modification of experimental parameters, which may be utilized for manufacturing metamaterials with on-demand properties. The V2O5-MoO3 system contains an intermediate phase V9Mo6O40, with a small fraction of V4+ instead of V5+. Consequently, this system should rather be considered as pseudobinary. The V4+ content depends on the oxygen partial pressure in the atmosphere. Thus, by changing the oxygen partial pressure one can tailor the electric properties of the system, and by changing the supercooling, the morphologic structure of crystallized bodies as well. For better understanding of this system differential thermal analysis and thermodynamic modeling was performed. Fibers of eutectic composition between V9Mo6O40 and MoO3 were grown by the micro-pulling-down technique. X-ray diffraction confirmed the existence of the V9Mo6O40 intermediate phase.

AbstractMg/Fe order in olivine has been determined by X-ray diffraction data, for example by Wenk and Raymond (1973). We have now studied the dependence of the Mg/Fe order vs. oxygen partial pressure. Two natural olivine samples of volcanic origin containing respectively 10 and 12 % fayalite were selected. The atomic positions, anisotropic temperature factors, extinction coefficient and site occupancies have been refined toThese experiments seem to indicate that the prevailing oxygen partial pressure determines the different Mg/Fe order found in natural olivine crystals.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric PbTiO3 and Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films with a perovskite structure were grown on MgO and Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si by MOCV.D. The microstructure and composition of the films were characterized by x-ray diffraction, SEM, and AES. Preferred orientation of either (111) or (100)/(001) was obtained on the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at temperatures from 600 °C to 650 °C The preferred (111) orientation was attributed to the formation of the Pt3Ti phase in the Pt layer of the substrates, whereas the (100)/(001) orientations were inferred as the growth rate effect. AES depth profiling indicated a uniform composition through the thickness of the PZT films. However, SEM showed different topography and microstructure of the PZT films deposited in different oxygen partial pressure. Electrical properties of the PZT films appear varied as a function of the oxygen partial pressure in the reactor.
