Abstract:
Density functional theory calculations combined with experiments were performed to investigate the stability, crystal structure, electronic structure and conductivity of RuO2-SiO2 binary oxides. Our calculations indicate that Ru1-xSixO2 solid solutions are unstable, and both their total energies and lattice parameters deviate from Vegard's law, revealing a strong interaction between RuO2 and SiO2. With an increase in x (doping concentration of SiO2), the conductivity of Ru1-xSixO2 underwent first-order exponential attenuation, but the compound remained metallic even when x was 0.875. Ru0.5Si0.5O2/Ti electrodes were prepared using the thermal decomposition method, and at different annealing temperatures, varying degrees of phase separation were observed in all the samples, proving the instability of the Ru1-xSixO2 solid solutions. The impedance test of the Ru0.5Si0.5O2/Ti samples showed that the total impedance of the samples and the degrees of phase separation conform to the first-order exponential relationship. The dual effects of Si doping attenuation and phase separation attenuation can explain the rapid decline in the conductivity of the RuO2-SiO2 electrode material.
