Phase Separation during the Topotactic Reduction of the Pyrochlore Y2Ti2O7

Abstract: The topotactic reduction of the pyrochlore Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 with CaH 2 is described. Neutron and X-ray powder diffraction data reveal the reduction yields mixtures of two reduced phases: Y 2 Ti 2 O 6.48(2) , a material from which oxide ions have been removed from the 48f anion site, and Y 2 Ti 2 O 5.90(6) , which exhibits a small amount of cation antisite disorder and a complicated defect anion structure. An electronic origin for the observed phase separation is explored. Magnetic data collected from reduced sampl… Show more

“…X-ray powder diffraction data collected from samples could be indexed on the basis of monoclinic unit cells (space group P2 1 /c) and gave lattice parameters as shown in Table 1 in good agreement with previously reported values for these phases [6,10]. CaH 2 has been used in as a solid-state reducing agent to bring about the topotactic reduction of complex transition metal oxides according to reaction Scheme 1 [11]. Samples were heated at the desired reaction temperature (see Table 2) for two periods of 2 days, with intermediate regrinding.…”

“…Important examples exist in a wide range of compounds including layered intercalation hosts [3][4][5][6] fast ion conductors 7,8 and electronically-active materials. [9][10][11][12] These routes typically involve preparing a precursor compound at high temperature and then modifying this material; by treatment with a salt 4 solution 3 or electrochemically 4 to manipulate the cations or with a reducing 9,10,13 or oxidising agent 14 to adjust the occupancy of the anion sublattice.…”

“…The oxygen deficiency could be an artefact of APT and is most likely dependent on the particle chemistry and acquisition parameters [38]. It should be noted that the anion-deficient phases of Y 2 Ti 2 O 6.48 and Y 2 Ti 2 O 5.91 can be produced by reducing the pyrochlore Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 [43] and so these structures could be stabilized by a low oxygen activity during consolidation.…”
