Combination of in situ Raman scattering with high-resolution XRD and XAS techniques has proven to be a powerful tool to elucidate the crystal growth of gamma-Bi2MoO6 under hydrothermal conditions.
Oxygen permeation measurements were performed on two layered bismuth based oxide ceramics: a rhombohedral phase belonging to the Bi 2 O 3 -CaO system, (Bi 2 O 3 ) 0.73 -(CaO) 0.27 (BICAO) and a BICOVOX phase. Oxygen permeability for these systems was compared to permeability of the cubic fluorite type structure with composition (Bi 2 O 3 ) 0.75 (Er 2 O 3 ) 0.25 (BE25). Low oxygen permeability was observed for the pure ceramic.As for BE25, permeability was considerably increased if 40 vol% of silver was added to BICAO. In contrast, permeability was not improved by addition of gold to BICOVOX. For this latter phase, the oxygen molecular exchange at the surface is clearly the limiting step in the oxygen transfer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
