Abstract

The dissolution enthalpy, ΔHDS, and the formation enthalpy, ΔHf,ox, of bulk lutetium-doped cerium oxide (LuDC) were studied at 701°C in molten sodium molybdate. For the composition range of Ce1−XLuXO2−X/2, studied 0 ≤ X ≤ 0.3, the ΔHDS decreases linearly and smoothly with lutetium content according to ΔHDS, kJ/mol = 73.5(1.0)−165.1(5.5)·x). The enthalpy of formation, ΔHf,ox, becomes more exothermic linearly with lutetium content. No anomaly in ΔHf,ox is observed at low Lu2O3 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.
