Electrical conductivity of Sr2−xVMoO6−y (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2) double perovskites

Electrical conductivity of Sr2-xVMoO6-y (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2) double perovskites has been investigated in a reducing atmosphere at temperatures up to 800 °C. This material has a key application in solid oxide fuel cell anodes as a mixed ion and electron conductor. A solid state synthesis technique was used to fabricate materials and crystal structure was verified through x-ray diffraction. Subsequent to conventional sintering in a reducing environment, elemental valence states were indentified through x-ray photoemission spectroscopy on the double perovskite material before and after annealing in a hydrogen environment. Samples exhibited metallic like conduction with electrical conductivities of 1250 S/cm (Sr2VMoO6-y′), 2530 S/cm (Sr1.8VMoO6-y″), and 3610 S/cm (Sr1.9VMoO6-y‴) at 800 °C in 5% H2/95% N2, with a substantial increase in conductivity upon cooling to room temperature. Room temperature electrical conductivity values for Sr1.9VMoO6-y‴ make it a candidate as the highest electrically conductive oxide...
