Abstract:Controlling the oxidation state of constituents by tuning the oxidizing environment and materials chemistry is vital to the successful synthesis of targeted binary or multicomponent oxides. We have conducted a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of 137 binary oxides to calculate their Ellingham diagrams. It is found that the “reactive” elements that oxidize easily are the f-block elements (lanthanides and actinides), elements in groups II, III, and IV (alkaline earth, Sc, Y, Ti, Zr, and Hf), and Al and Li.
