Abstract
The oxygen absorption behavior of Ce2Zr2O7+x (0≤x≤1) with an ordered arrangement of Ce and Zr ions was studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The results suggest the presence of intermediate phase with Ce2Zr2O7.5 composition. From the X-ray powder diffraction and electron diffraction analysis, the intermediate phase was found to belong to the space group F43m and to be formed by occupying the half of ordered oxygen vacancies with oxygen ions alternately.
