摘要

A series of solid solutions with high content of Tb2O3–(TbxTi1−x)4O8−2x (x = 0.667–0.830) are synthesized in the Tb2O3–TiO2 system via co-precipitation and/or mechanical activation. This is followed by high-temperature annealing for 4–22 h. The X-ray diffraction method showed that the fluorite structure was realized for (TbxTi1−x)4O8−2x (x = 0.75–0.817). The solid solution Tb3.12Ti0.88O6.44 (64mol% Tb2O3 (x = 0.78)) with a fluorite structure exhibited a maximum hole conductivity of ∼22 S/cm at 600°C. To separate the ionic component of the conductivity in the electronic conductor Tb3.12Ti0.88O6.44, its high entropy analogue, (La0.2Gd0.2Tm0.2Lu0.2Y0.2)3.12Ti0.88O6.44, was synthesized in which all rare-earth elements (REE) cations exhibited valency of +3. Consequently, the contribution of ionic (proton) conductivity (∼7 × 10−6 S/cm at 600°C) was revealed with respect to the background of dominant hole conductivity. The proton conductivity of high-entropy oxide (HEO) (La0.2Gd0.2Tm0.2Lu0.2Y0.2)3.12Ti0.88O6.44 was confirmed by the detection of the isotope effect, where the mobility of the heavier O–D ions was lower than that of the O–H hydroxyls, resulting in lower conductivity in D2O vapors when compared to H2O.
