Abstract

A new oxide ion conductor, La3GaMo2O12, with a bulk conductivity of 2.7×10−2 S·cm−1 at 800 °C in air atmosphere was prepared by the traditional solid-state reaction. The room temperature X-ray diffraction data could be indexed on a monoclinic cell with lattice parameters of a=0.5602(2) nm, b=0.3224(1) nm, c=1.5741(1) nm, β=102.555(0)°, V=0.2775(2) nm3 and space group Pc(7). Ac impedance measurements in various atmospheres further support that it is an oxide ion conductor. This material was stable in various atmospheres with oxygen partial pressure p(O2) ranging from 1.0×105 to 1.0×10−7 Pa at 800 °C. A reversible polymorphic phase transition occurred at elevated temperatures as confirmed by the differential thermal analysis and dilatometric measurement.
