THE CONTRIBUTION OF LATTICE OXYGEN ATOMS OF PRASEODYMIUM OXIDE TO ITS CATHODIC PERFORMANCE

The cathodic performance of praseodymium oxide systems (PrO2.0, PrO1.83, and PrO1.71) was examined galvanostatically in a mixed solvent of propylene carbonate and 1,2-dimethoxyethane containing LiClO4 at 25 °C. The cathode potential becomes more positive and decays more slowly for the praseodymium oxide with higher oxygen contents.
