Description

The double perovskite oxide Sr2CrNbO6 has a cubic structure according to powder X-ray diffraction. After reducing in CO, Sr2CrNbO6 still exhibited a cubic structure refined by Rietveld technique. The TG analysis indicated that Sr2CrNbO6 loses 0.127 oxygen per formula unit from 400 to 700 deg. C in H2. The morphology and compositions of this ceramic did not significantly change on reduction. The conductivities in various atmospheres were varied from 0.015 to 0.039 S cm-1 at 800 deg. C. The conductivity exhibits a small oxygen partial pressure dependence in oxygen partial pressure range of 1-10-16 atm, and this may be interpreted to reflect slow equilibration kinetics with decreasing oxygen activity
