M. Elazhari et al., OXIDATION AT LOW-TEMPERATURE OF SOME DELAFOSSITE-TYPE OXIDES CUMO2 (M= SC, GA, Y, LA, ND, LA0,5Y0,5), European journal of solid state and inorganic chemistry, 34(5), 1997, pp. 503-509
Oxidation either with hypohalites in aqueous solution or by solid-gas
reaction under oxygen flow of the delafossite-type compounds CuMO2 (M=
Sc, Ga, Y, La, Nd, La0.5Y0.5) is described. Materials obtained at room
temperature are compared to those prepared at higher temperatures. Pa
rticular attention is paid ro the correlation of the features of the r
esulting CuMO2+delta phase with the size of the M element.
