Catalytic Properties of the Lanthanide Higher Oxides

CONDUCTIVITY AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF THE LANTHANIDE HIGHER OXIDES [Pg.42]

The lanthanide higher oxides have not only peculiar thermodynamic properties, but also unique physical and chemical properties. The physical and chemical properties are presented as a macroscopic parameter, such as the electrical conductivity, the coefficient of expansion, and the conversion rate of a catalysis process. Due to the lack of knowledge of the wide range of non-stoichiometry of the oxygen-deficient fluorite-related homologous series of the lanthanide higher oxides, the macroscopically measured data of the physical and chemical properties are scattered, and therefore, based on the structural principle of the module ideas a deep understanding the relationship between the properties and structures is needed.
