CHEMICAL EXPANSIVITY IN CERAMIC OXYGEN TRANSPORT MATERIALS

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Materials Science and Engineering.
Chemical expansion of eight lanthanum strontium ferrite (LSF)-based oxygen transport materials (four purchased, four synthesized) was assessed isothermally at 800 °C, 900 °C, and 1,000 °C at oxygen potentials from 10-0.678 atm (air) to 10-20.3–10-15.9 atm (depending on temperature). The following compositions were tested: (La0.60Sr0.40)0.995 Co0.20Fe0.80O3-δ, (La0.80Sr0.20)0.95FeO3-δ, (La0.20Sr0.80) Cr0.20Fe0.80O3-δ, (La0.20Sr0.80) Co0.10Cr0.20Fe0.70O3-δ, (La0.50Sr0.50)Cr0.20Fe0.80O3-δ, (La0.20Sr0.80) Co0.10Cr0.10Fe0.80O3-δ, (La0.20Sr0.80)Co0.10Cr0.10Mg0.05Fe0.75O3-δ, and (La0.50Sr0.50) Cr0.20Mg0.05Fe0.75O3-δ. Powder synthesis utilized aqueous nitrate solutions with malic acid added as a complexing agent. These exhibited good agreement with their target compositions. All eight materials sintered to ≥95% density in 16 hours at 1250–1350 °C. At the lowest partial pressure of oxygen (10-20.3, 10-17.9, 10-15.9) at their respective isothermal temperatures (800 °C, 900 °C, 1000 °C), three compositions demonstrated the lowest chemical expansion: (La0.60Sr0.40)0.995 Co0.20Fe0.80O3-δ, (La0.20Sr0.80) Cr0.20Fe0.80O3-δ, and (La0.20Sr0.80)Co0.10Cr0.10Mg0.05Fe0.75O3-δ. Among these materials, (La0.60Sr0.40)0.995 Co0.20Fe0.80O3-δ had a higher coefficient of chemical expansion compared to (La0.20Sr0.80) Cr0.20Fe0.80O3-δ, which is attributed to chromium being less reducible and therefore causing less lattice distortion compared to cobalt. It was concluded that (La0.60Sr0.40)0.995 Co0.20Fe0.80O3-δ had low chemical expansion due to the A-site deficiency, and both (La0.20Sr0.80) Cr0.20Fe0.80O3-δ and (La0.20Sr0.80)Co0.10Cr0.10Mg0.05Fe0.75O3-δ due to their less reducible chromium and magnesium content.
