Abstract

Sr2MgMoO6 is a B-site ordered double perovskite and a mixed ionic and electronic conductor in a reducing atmosphere at the anode. Owing to its high tolerance to carbon deposition and sulfur poisoning, it has been under investigation as a promising anode material for hydrocarbon-fueled solid oxide fuel cells. The powder synthesis process reported in previous studies is confusing and requires the use of expensive chemicals. In this study, a simple solid-state reaction method to synthesize high-purity Sr2MgMoO6 powder, based on conventional chemicals, is investigated. SrCO3 or Sr(NO3)2, MgO, and MoO3 were used as starting materials. Atmosphere-controlled calcinations using 5% H2/Ar and O2 as flow gases were alternatively performed at the proper sintering temperature (1000 and 1100°C). The successfully synthesized powder comprises a high-purity Sr2MgMoO6 phase. The reaction process was determined by analyzing the X-ray diffraction data at room and high temperatures. Crystal stability at high temperature in the reducing atmosphere was also evaluated; Sr2MgMoO6 is stable in 5% H2/Ar reducing atmosphere even at temperatures as high as 1300°C.
