Abstract
The crystal chemistry of a recently reported mixed conductor , exhibiting unusually high oxygen permeability, has been characterized by systematically investigating the system. The samples belong to the general stoichiometry and have an orthorhombic, intergrowth structure isotypic with for 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 1.5. While the intergrowth phase and the perovskite phase coexist along with CoO impurity for 1.7 ⩽ x ⩽ 2.1, the perovskite phase is formed along with CoO impurity for x = 2.4. In the single‐phase region with 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 1.5, the oxygen content decreases, and the total conductivity increases with x. The occurrence of unusually high oxide‐ion conductivity is explained on the basis of crystal chemistry.
