“…On one hand, the higher binding energy of Ni 3+ than that of Ni 2+ makes the crystal lattice more rigid, thus improves the Q×f value, on the other hand, Ni 3+ also makes negative contribution to the cations ordering as discussed above, which should deteriorate the Q×f value, the combined effect is difficult to be determined and requires further investigation. The same occurs for r and f, since a more rigid crystal lattice has lower r and more negative f, while a disordering state has higher r and more positive f [6,39]. It should be pointed out that the analysis above needs to be further confirmed by more precise experiments which are beyond the present study.…”
