Abstract

The Sr(Co0.9M0.1)O3-δ (M = Co, Y, Nb) composite oxides were prepared by the simple solid-state reaction method, and the pure Sr(Co0.9Nb0.1)O3-δ (M = Nb) perovskite-type oxide was obtained. It was further characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), and scanning electron microscope/energy-dispersive X-ray spectra (SEM/EDX) techniques and demonstrated that the structural stability of the perovskite-type Sr(Co0.9Nb0.1)O3-δ oxide is improved greatly by Nb cation doping. The high-temperature oxygen sorption/desorption properties of the perovskite-type Sr(Co0.9Nb0.1)O3-δ were studied by TG in a flowing air stream between 350 and 950 ℃, and a high oxygen sorption capacity of 10.5 mL O2 (STP)/g oxide was obtained for the Sr(Co0.9Nb0.1)O3-δ oxide.
