Abstract

The cuprates La2 − xSr1 + xCu2O6 + δ(x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) are synthesized by solid-state method. Their dc conductivity was studied over the 373 to 1173 K temperature range and 10 to 2.1 × 104 Pa oxygen partial pressure range by using four-probe technique. It is shown that the cuprate conductivity in air is maximal at ∼673 K; it is 60 S/cm for La2SrCu2O6.09; 68 S/cm, for La1.9Sr1.1Cu2O6.18; and 81 S/cm, for La1.8Sr1.2Cu2O6.10. The thermal expansion coefficient of La2SrCu2O6.09 is determined by thermomechanical method and high-temperature X-ray diffraction method; its value (16 ppm K−1) shows that the material is compatible with the ceria-based solid electrolytes during the thermal cycling.
