Study and optimization of the synthesis routine of the single phase YBaCo₂O_6-δ double perovskite

Abstract

The chemical interaction of YCoO_3-δ and BaCoO_3-δ with formation of double perovskite was studied depending on temperature and oxygen partial pressure. The stability of YCoO₃ was shown to have а crucial influence on the kinetics and mechanism of YBaCo₂O_6-δ formation. It was found that at 1000 °C in air, i.e. under conditions when YCoO₃ is unstable, the double perovskite YBaCo₂O_6-δ is formed much slower compared to the pure oxygen atmosphere where YCoO₃ is stable at the same temperature. Thus controlling YCoO₃ stability was shown to be the factor of key importance for optimal preparation of the YBaCo₂O_6-δ single phase.
