Abstract
Thermostability of oxide alkali tungsten and molybdenum bronzes
Incoming article date: 20.12.2012Oxide bronzes MxEO3 (M–Na,K; E – W,Mo) are the inorganic materials for technics and chemical technology. Its properties, for example stability in wide interval of temperatures, are of great practical interest (electrodes for fuel elements, electronic apparatuses and others). In this article the results of studies of thermostability of sodium and potassium tungsten and molybdenum bronzes in atmosphere and vacuum condition at the temperatures range 20-1110°C were found. The samples are prepared by electrolysis of melts of sodium and potassium isopolytungstates and molybdates. Dates for bronzes Na0.92WO3 , Na0.68WO3 , Na0.53WO3 , Na0.15MoO3, K0.3MoO3 were characterized by the termogravimetric-differential- thermal analysis (TG-DTA). Regions of stability of Na0.92WO3 : 20-700°C , of MxMoO3 : 300-500°C were founded. Conclusion about correlation of nonstoichiometry of chemical composition of EOx bronzes and oxides, which making important role in formation of less - common metal bronzes structure.
