Abstract

A new route for obtaining calcium-deficient apatites with a Ca/P ratio lower than 1.5 is described, in order to study their proton conduction at temperatures lower than 400 °C. The process is based on the hydrolysis of a mixed solution of Ca(NO3)2 and NH4H2PO4 in the presence of hexamethylenetetramine at a pH of approximately 5 and temperatures of 85–90 °C. The resulting spherical particles of 14 μm in average diameter were aggregates of smaller needles with approximate composition Ca8.5(HPO4)2(PO4)4OH · H2O. The effects of the reagent concentrations, pH, aging time, and temperature were studied, and the solids were characterized by x-ray diffraction, infrared absorption spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The ionic conduction measured by alternating-current impedance spectroscopy yielded a value of 3 μSm−1 at 200 °C.
