Abstract

Equilibrium properties and kinetic properties of strontium-doped lanthanum ferrite La0.6Sr0.4FeO3−δ were studied by an original approach involving two methods: oxygen partial pressure relaxation (with determination of equilibrium exchange rate R0 and a chemical diffusion coefficient in oxide: Dchem) and a quasi-equilibrium oxygen release [with construction of equilibrium isothermal diagram “lg pO2 vs. (3 − δ) vs. T”]. Activation energies determined for R0 and Dchem were 120 ± 20 and 30 ± 2 kJ/mol, respectively. It was shown that the linear free-energy relationship—between activation energy of the reaction rate constant and standard Gibbs energy of the reaction—is of the Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi type.
