Abstract

A temperature programmed method for determining diffusivities has been previously applied to oxygen diffusivity in V2O5. In this communication we extend the method to the case of oxygen diffusivity in MoO3. The reduction of MoO3 to MoO2 using NH3 is utilized to obtain experimental parameters such as the temperature of reduction and the activation energy for oxygen diffusion. These parameters are in turn used to solve Fick's equation for the oxygen diffusivity D0. The utility of this temperature programmed method for obtaining diffusivities has now been clearly established by extension to MoO3.
