Abstract

The thermodynamic stability of spinel and rock‐salt structure phases has been investigated for the quasi‐ternary mixed oxide system Co‐Fe‐Mn‐O at 1200°C and at total pressures of the order of 1 atm (∼1.01 × 105 Pa) using thermogravimetric and electrical conductivity measurements. The results reveal the stability limits of the spinel and rock‐salt structure phases with varying cationic composition and oxygen partial pressure at 1200°C. The oxygen partial pressure was varied over 12 orders of magnitude, from log10ao2= 0 to log10ao2= ‐12, by using CO/CO2 and N2/O2 gas mixtures and monitored by an electrochemical, stabilized zirconia‐based EMF cell. The maximum cobalt mole fraction used in the investigation was about 0.33.
