Abstract
The Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) phases La 2Ni 1 - xFe xO 4 + δ (x = 0.02, 0.1) and La 4Ni 3 - xFe xO 10 - δ (x = 0.3, 0.9) were successfully synthesized via the sol-gel route. Even though X-ray diffraction did not show any secondary phases for La 2Ni 0.9Fe 0.1O 4 + δ, approximately 5-10% of the higher order RP phase La 4Ni 2.1Fe 0.9O 10 - δ were detected in backscattered electron contrast imaging, whereas La 2Ni 0.98Fe 0.02O 4 + δ exhibits no foreign phases. This was also confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the oxygen permeation performance and electrical conductivity of La 2Ni 1 -xFe xO 4 + δ were found to decrease slightly with increasing iron content. The Mössbauer spectra of La 2Ni 1 -xFe xO 4 + δ (x = 0.02, 0.1) are dominated by a quadrupole-split doublet. With increasing temperature, however, a minority iron species is detected. The dominating doublet reveals an unusual high-temperature behavior of quadrupolar interactions, which was observed by in-situ Mössbauer measurements at high temperatures and different oxygen partial pressures. This is most likely related to ordering phenomena of oxygen.
