Abstract

The oxygen nonstoichiometry of Pr0.545Ce0.455O2-x was studied by solid state coulometric titration and was found to be extensive (0 ≤ y ≤ 0.28) at temperatures of 400–600 °C. The Po2 - x curves showed evidence of the existence of a number of single and two phase regions. Electrical conductivity measurements, performed under similar conditions, exhibited a p-n transition for temperature of 500 °C and below. The activated p-type conductivity was modeled in terms of the small polaron hopping mechanism. The p-n transition was correlated with the onset of phase separation.
