Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The layered perovskites can be classified as Ruddlesden–Popper, Dion–Jacobson and Aurivillius structures. Compounds with Ruddlesden–Popper structure have the general formula An+1BnO3n+1 in which the alternation of layers is characteristic perovskite structure (P) and rock salt structure fragments (RS) in sequences –Pn–RS–Pn–RS–, where n is the thickness of the perovskite layer. Aurivillius phases are characterized by the formula An-1Bi2ВnO3n+3, which describes the alternation of perovskite layers with layers having a fluorite structure, formed by bismuth and oxygen ions. Dion–Jacobson phases are described by the formula A’[An-1BnO3n+1]. The structure of these compounds includes perovskite layers separated by layers, in which are only metal cations, usually alkaline or alkaline earth. The materials with layered perovskite-related structures have many various applications due to their different physical-chemical properties. These properties are dependent on the nature of ions in the crystal lattice. For the last decades, different compositions with layers of perovskite structures were described as superconductors, giant and colossal magnetoresistors, microwave dielectrics, phosphors, mixed ionic and electronic conductors, dielectrics, magnetic materials, thermoelectrics, photocatalysts for hydrogen production, materials for high-efficiency photovoltaic cells, oxygen-ionic conductors, protonic conductors.

In this Special Issue, we wish to cover the most recent advances in all these aspects of layered perovskites by hosting a mix of original research articles and short critical reviews.

The differential scanning calorimetry study showed that the double perovskite HoBaCo2O6-δ (HBC), depending on its oxygen content, undergoes three phase transitions in the temperature range 298–773 K. Their origin was tentatively explained using the relevant literature data. For the single-phase tetragonal HBC, the oxygen nonstoichiometry dependences on the oxygen partial pressure were investigated by thermogravimetric and flow reactor methods in the intermediate-temperature range of 573–773 K. The proposed defect structure of HBC was successfully verified using the obtained data on its oxygen nonstoichiometry combined with those reported earlier. As a result, the values of the thermodynamic parameters (∆Hi∘, ∆Si∘) of the defect reactions proceeding in HBC were determined. The defect structure of HBC was shown to be similar to that of YBaCo2O6-δ (YBC) likely due to similar ionic radii of Ho3+ and Y3+. Full article

Hexagonal perovskite-related oxides such as Ba3WVO8.5 have attracted much attention due to their unique crystal structures and significant oxide ion conduction. However, the oxide ion conductivity of Ba3WVO8.5 is not very high. Herein, we report new hexagonal perovskite-related oxides Ba3W1+xV1−xO8.5+x/2 (x = −0.1, −0.05, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.75). The bulk conductivity of Ba3W1.6V0.4O8.8 was found to be 21 times higher than that of the mother material Ba3WVO8.5 at 500 °C. Maximum entropy method (MEM) neutron scattering length density (NSLD) analyses of neutron diffraction data at 800 °C experimentally visualized the oxide ion diffusion pathways through the octahedral O2 and tetrahedral O3 sites in intrinsically oxygen-deficient layers. By increasing the excess W content x in Ba3W1+xV1−xO8.5+x/2, the excess oxygen content x/2 increases, which leads to more oxygen atoms at the O2 and O3 oxygen sites, a higher minimum NSLD on the O2–O3 path, and a higher level of conductivity. Another reason for the increased conductivity of Ba3W1.6V0.4O8.8 is the lower activation energy for oxide ion conduction, which can be ascribed to the longer (W/V)–O2 and (W/V)–O3 distances due to the substitution of V atoms with large-sized W species. The present findings open new avenues in the science and technology of oxide ion conductors. Full article

Oxygen-ionic and proton-conducting oxides are widely studied materials for their application in various electrochemical devices such as solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers. Rare earth oxides are known as a class of ionic conductors. In this paper, La2ZnNdO5.5 and its Ca-doped derivatives La2Nd0.9Ca0.1ZnO5.45 and La2ZnNd0.9Ca0.1O5.45 were obtained by a solid-state reaction route. Phase composition, lattice parameters, and hydration capability were investigated by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses. The conductivities of these materials were measured by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique in dry (pH2O = 3.5 × 10−5 atm) and wet (pH2O = 2 × 10−2 atm) air. All phases crystallized in a trigonal symmetry with P3m1 space group. The conductivity difference between undoped and calcium-doped samples is more than two orders of magnitude due to the appearance of oxygen vacancies during acceptor doping, which are responsible for a higher ionic conductivity. The La2Nd0.9Ca0.1ZnO5.45 sample shows the highest conductivity of about 10−3 S∙cm−1 at 650 °C. The Ca-doped phases are capable of reversible water uptake, confirming their proton-conducting nature.

Inorganic materials with layered perovskite structures have a wide range of physical and chemical properties. Layered perovskites based on BaLanInnO3n+1 (n = 1, 2) were recently investigated as protonic conductors. This work focused on the oxygen ion and proton transport (ionic conductivity and mobility) in alkali-earth (Sr2+, Ba2+)-doped layered perovskites based on BaLa2In2O7. It is shown that in the dry air conditions, the nature of conductivity is mixed oxygen–hole, despite the dopant nature. Doping leads to the increase in the conductivity values by up to ~1.5 orders of magnitude. The most proton-conductive BaLa1.7Ba0.3In2O6.85 and BaLa1.7Sr0.15In2O6.925 samples are characterized by the conductivity values 1.2·10−4 S/cm and 0.7·10−4 S/cm at 500 °C under wet air, respectively. The layered perovskites with Ruddlesden-Popper structure, containing two layers of perovskite blocks, are the prospective proton-conducting materials and further material science searches among this class of materials is relevant.
