K. Ehrensberger et al., TEMPORARY PHASE SEGREGATION PROCESSES DURING THE OXIDATION OF (FE0.7MN0.3)(0.99)O IN N-2-H2O ATMOSPHERE, Solid state ionics, 90(1-4), 1996, pp. 75-81
A two-step thermochemical cycle with the ternary metal oxide system (F
e1-xMnx)(3)O-4/(Fe-1-x,Mn-x)(1-y)O is applied to convert solar energy
to chemical energy. Experimental investigations on the water splitting
reaction of (Fe1-xMnx)(1-y)O revealed temporary formation of a mangan
ese rich rock salt phase and an iron rich spinel phase due to phase se
gregation processes.
