AI Article Synopsis

  • The hexagonal perovskite derivative BaVMoO has been synthesized and its crystal structure analyzed, revealing ordered cation vacancies on the M2 site.
  • Unlike other similar compounds, BaVMoO has both barium and oxygen vacancies, resulting in a non-stoichiometric structure.
  • Although it exhibits potential for oxide ion conductivity based on calculations, the compound's instability at lower temperatures limits further electrical property measurements.

Article Abstract

The hexagonal perovskite derivatives BaNbMoO, BaNbWO, and BaVWO have recently been reported to exhibit significant oxide ion conductivity. Here, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the hexagonal perovskite derivative BaVMoO. Rietveld refinement from neutron and X-ray diffraction data show that the cation vacancies are ordered on the M2 site, leading to a structure consisting of palmierite-like layers of M1O polyhedra separated by vacant octahedral layers. In contrast to other members of the BaM'M″O family, BaVMoO is not stoichiometric and both barium and oxygen vacancies are present. Although synthesized in air at elevated temperatures, BaVMoO is unstable at lower temperatures, as illustrated by the formation of BaCO and BaMoO by heat treatment in air at 400 °C. This precludes measurement of the electrical properties. However, bond-valence site energy (BVSE) calculations strongly suggest that oxide ion conductivity is present in BaVMoO.

To synthetically target a specific material with select performance, the underlying relationship between structure and function must be understood. For targeting magnetic properties, such understanding is underdeveloped for a relatively new class of layered hexagonal perovskites, the 12R-BaMnO family. Here, we perform a detailed magnetostructural study of the layered hexagonal perovskite materials 12R-BaMnO, where = diamagnetic Ce or paramagnetic ≈ 1/2 Pr.

To systematically investigate the influence of the number of [AO] layers in the unit cell of hexagonal perovskite oxide on the oxygen evolution reaction performance, we successfully synthesized the three new hexagonal perovskite oxides 2H-BaCoRuO, 6H-BaCoRuO, and 10H-BaCoRuO with the same element composition but different [BaO] layers via the sol-gel method. Here, 2H, 6H, and 10H refer to the number of [BaO] layers contained in the unit cell of the BaCoRuO system. Experimentally, 10H-BaCoRuO, featuring ten layers of [BaO], exhibits optimal electrochemical activity among the three oxide catalysts, and in situ Raman results under various bias voltages confirm its ability to maintain a high surface crystal structural stability.

Hexagonal perovskite materials are emerging quantum spin liquid (QSL) systems providing a fertile ground to realize novel quantum phenomena. The epitaxially grown thin films of such materials offer a compelling approach to utilize exotic quantum phases for device applications with better control over the structure. We fabricate the intriguing QSL triple perovskite BaCuSbOepitaxially onto a MgO (100) substrate by pulsed laser deposition technique as well as in bulk form for comparison.

Hybrid perovskites exhibit highly efficient optoelectronic properties and find widespread applications in areas such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, and lasers. Here, we report the innovative synthesis of formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI) single-crystal microsheets via a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The microsheets exhibit hexagonal and trapezoidal shapes, with hexagonal FAPbI growing parallel to the substrate and trapezoidal FAPbI growing perpendicular to the substrate.

The hexagonal perovskite derivatives BaM'M″O featuring a hybrid structure composed of 9R hexagonal perovskite and palmierite structure motifs exhibit significant oxide ionic conductivity due to the highly disordered oxide-ion and M-cation sublattices. Herein, we report the structure and electrical properties of the perovskite BaTiWO. Three-dimensional (3D) electron diffraction (ED), neutron powder diffraction (NPD), and neutron pair distribution functions (nPDF) revealed a 9R hexagonal perovskite structure for BaTiWO with fully occupied central M2 sites, partially occupied outer M1 sites, and oxygen-deficient cubic c-BaO sublayers.
