Abstract
The potential solid oxide fuel cell anode material Sr2MgMoO 6 adopts a √2 × √2 × 2I1̄ superstructure of the simple perovskite cell, derived from an a0a0c - tilt system via distortion of the Mg- and Mocentered octahedra. Reduction of Sr2MgMoO6 appears to be correlated with antisite disorder at either point or extended antiphase defects. The degree of reduction is small at temperatures below 900 °C. Upon further reduction above 900 °C, Sr2MgMoO6 begins to decompose into a reduced material modeled as an n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper phase with a significantly higher Mo:Mg ratio, MgO, and Mo. Diffraction data are consistent with the reduced material being significantly intergrown with the perovskite matrix.
