Abstract
Compounds in the SrO-Ta2O3-Pr2O3 system were synthesized by solid state reaction. No ternary compound was identified. Binary compound of Sr5Ta4-yO15-d was prepared as a single pahse. The electrical conductivity of Sr5Ta3.8O14.5 increased with increasing water vapor pressure, suggesting protonic conduction. The activation energy at lower temperatures was lower than that at higher temperatures. The ionic conduction of binary compound PrTa3O9 was observed.
