Abstract

The dissolution enthalpy, ΔH DS, and the formation enthalpy, ΔH f,ox, of bulk lutetium-doped cerium oxide (LuDC) were studied at 701°C in molten sodium molybdate. For the composition range of Ce 1−XLu XO 2−X/2, studied 0 ≤ X ≤ 0.3, the ΔH DS decreases linearly and smoothly with lutetium content according to ΔH DS, kJ/mol = 73.5(1.0)−165.1(5.5)·x). The enthalpy of formation, ΔH f,ox, becomes more exothermic linearly with lutetium content. No anomaly in ΔH f,ox is observed at low Lu 2O 3 concentration as reported previously for several other rare-earth-doped ceria systems, suggesting possible differences in clustering and microstructure, which may also be related to difference in processing conditions.
