Abstract
The crystal structure, oxygen content and homogeneity range of Pr1-xSrxCoO3-õ solid solutions from room temperature (RT) up to 1100 °C in air were studied. It has been shown that an increase in temperature and Sr content causes an Orthorhombic → Rhombohedral → Cubic transformation of the crystal structure. The heterovalent substitution of Sr2+ for Pr3+ is compensated by an increase in the mean oxidation state of Co ions (zCo) and the formation of oxygen vacancies. The temperature dependences of thermal expansion and conductivity of Pr1-xSrxCoO3-õ solid solutions are explained from the point of view of crystal and defect structure. The diagram of phase relation in the PrCoO3 – “SrCoOz” cross section has been constructed.
