dc.description.abstract | Two new compositional series with the previously unique γ-Ba4Nb2O9 type structure, γ-Ba4VxTa2-xO9 and γ-Ba4VxNb2-xO9 (x = 0-2/3), have been synthesised via solid-state methods. Undoped Ba4Ta2O9 forms a 6H-perovskite type phase, but with sufficient V doping the γ-type phase is thermodynamically preferred and possibly more stable than γ-Ba4Nb2O9, forming at a 200 °C lower synthesis temperature. This is explained by the fact that Nb5+ ions in γ-Ba4Nb2O9 simultaneously occupy 4-, 5- and 6-coordinate sites in the oxide sublattice, which is less stable than allowing smaller V5+ to occupy the former and larger Ta5+ to occupy the latter. We characterised the structures of the new phases using a combination of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction. All compositions hydrate rapidly and extensively (up to 1/3 H2O per formula unit) under ambient conditions, like the parent γ-Ba4Nb2O9 phase, and show moderate but improved mixed-ionic electronic conduction. At lower temperatures the ionic conduction is predominately protonic, while at higher temperatures it is dominated by oxide and electron-hole conduction. | en_AU |
