Abstract
The double perovskite Sr 2MgMoO 6− δ has been recently reported as an efficient anode material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). In the present work, this material have been investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and impedance spectroscopy to further characterise its properties as SOFC anode. DSC and XRD measurements indicate that Sr 2MgMoO 6− δ exhibits a reversible phase transition around 275 °C from triclinic ( I 1 ¯ ) with an octahedral tilting distortion to cubic ( Fm 3 ¯ m ) without octahedral distortion. This phase transition is continuous with increasing temperature without any sudden cell volume change during the phase transformation. The main effect of the phase transformation is observed in the electrical conductivity with a change in the activation energy at low temperature. La 3+ and Fe-substituted Sr 2MgMoO 6− δ phases were also investigated, however these materials are unstable under oxidising conditions due to phase segregations above 600 °C.
