Abstract

The purpose of the work is influence investigation of modifying Nd5Mo3O16+δ oxygen-conducting fluorite-related compound by lead at the crystal structure and conductivity. The substitution of lead for neodymium was studied by XRD (with structure refinement), scanning electron microscopy, FTIR-spectroscopy and conductivity measurements. The compositions Nd5-xPbxMo3O16+δ (x = 0 – 1.6) were obtained by a solid state reaction from the oxides. It was determined that single-phase solid solution Nd5-xPbxMo3O16+δ is formed up to x ≈ 0.82. The Rietveld structure refinement shows that lead is statistically located in the Ln1 and Ln2 positions. The introduction of lead does not significantly affect the nature and values of conductivity.
