Influence of water on the structure of anion deficient perovskite BaSr2NbO5.5
In the present work, a new method for creating oxygen vacancies in the perovskites structure was investigated. The methods studied were based on solid-state reactions but used different slurry medium, namely acetone and water. The purpose of the solvents is to enhance the homogeneity of the mixtures, and to create dry and wet media for the initial reaction.The main aim of the study is to investigate the impact of an aqueous slurry medium on the structural characteristics of the BaSr2NbO5.5 perovskite.
